History
Bapro, engine calibration specialists, on January 2004 gave birth to its Italian
Headquarters in Correggio, Reggio Emilia (Italy) in the middle of the Italian ‘Motorvalley’
with its Production, Training & Technical Center.
Many partnerships with big Automotive brands give us the opportunity to further our
development into the automotive diagnostic equipment, and will continue leading the
way in highly accurate and affordable products.

Our quality in Chassis Dynamometers
Bapro product Series S Series (Standard) , especially designed for car/motorcycle workshops, suitable
(Standard - High Performance) for lower HP vehicles applications or common diagnosis usage.
HP Series (High Performance) dynos, dedicated to highest HP vehicle tuning
applications and research and development dpts.
All measure values are automatically standardized to international standards.
Tubular Frame Powder coated (customizable color) tubular frame in high strength steel.
Allow to test high power heavy vehicles ensuring steady measures over time. Pro:
Maximum strength with minimum flexure (and vibration proofing) compared to the
competitor's sheet metal frame.
Steel structure Tubular frame, long lasting structure, high quality vibration proofing
equilibrated components for the best accuracy. Moreover, our dynos are
always ready to be upgraded from the pit version to the above ground version.
Eddy Current Brake Allow to perform load tests and fixed rpm (speed). Pro: the brake and the rollers
are mounted in the same frame, this is conceived to withstand the power of the
ultra highpower vehicles.
Remote Control Operating system free. Allow to perform any tests without stopping the vehicle.
Built-in Weather Station Pressure–temperature. Allow to measure the weather conditions. Bapro
dynamometer corrects the power reading in real-time according to different
standards (different systems from S to HP Series)
Management Software Allow to perform, save, compare and print the tests. Pro: Updated, complete
(no add-on or extra charges), particularly easy and intuitive, with analogue and
digital gauges. It works without mouse and by remote control. Compatible with
the present and future Windows operating systems. It doesn’t need a dedicated
computer and it works on the notebooks too!

Theory of chassis dynamometers
Principles of the braked chassis dynamometer (equipped with eddy current brake and load cell)
The power and torque detection point of Bapro dynamometers is in the crankshaft. Detection is carried out on
a complete vehicle and under normal operating conditions.
With braking bench testing (controlled), a more precise and representative measurement of the actual power of the
vehicle being tested is obtained as a result of the eddy current brake.
It is a much more accurate test than those guaranteed by traditional test benches, such as ‘inertial’ ones.
Chassis dynamometers are, above all, distinguished by the option of setting the “ramp time” (usually never less
than 15 seconds), or performing it in “points” for a given range of revolutions/time, in order to obtain more reliable
results, adapting to any type of power or torque.
These measurements must usually consider different dispersions of the transmitted energy in order to accelera-
te to the actual power to the crankshaft. These dispersions have different origins, just think of all the surfaces in
contact with the engine (bearings and bushings) that enable rotation, the gear system (with continuous /automatic
variation), transmission oil (if applicable) and end transmission, as well as from the tyres.
The main principles for correct operation (and guarantee of measurement precision) of the eddy current chassis
dynamometer have different factors which, when carefully controlled, enable:
� the lowest overall inertial mass (which enables better power acceleration precision to the crankshaft)
� no vibrations (that can affect readings and communication between test bench and output signals)
� maximum wheel/roller grip (slippage and micro-slippage would not enable correct reading of the vehicle’s power)
� no uncontrolled resistance (which could affect the overall inertial mass, thereby distorting data)
Compliance with these requirements, integral development of products and their optimisation, the sole use of high
quality components and specifications and attention to details, have always been the guiding principles at Bapro.
Decades of collaboration with large companies in the automotive industry, such as Magneti Marelli, Ducati and
Maserati, have allowed us to develop specific skills in their research and development departments.
Today, this results in the quality and reliability of our products, which are constantly updated to meet demands in a
Banchi prova potenza per auto a trazione integrale . Collegamento tra asse ante-
riore e posteriore
Bapro ha sviluppato e brevettato una SINCRONIZZAZIONE ELETTRONICA DEGLI ASSI, che ne permet-
te il controllo ad alta frequenza (1 kHz), garantendo così la precisione tipica dei nostri banchi prova potenza
dinamometrici.
La filosofia di Bapro è di offrire banchi prova capaci di distinguersi per precisione, ripetibilità della prova ed
affidabilità, caratteristiche che le soluzioni tecniche dotate di collegamento meccanico NON possono offrire
a causa della oggettiva impossibilitàò di creare una sincronia perfetta tra gli assi.
Bapro ha scelto inoltre lo sviluppo e l’implementazione dei sistemi software denominati DYNO MODE,
capaci di escludere tali sensori di controllo, permettendo così test certi ed affidabili della potenza all’albero
motore a prescindere dagli sviluppi attuali e futuri dell’elettronica di controllo dei veicoli.

Professional soundproof cabins for cars and motorcycles
Sound-insulated cabin made to measure according to installation site and specific requests. Under current legislation
the installation of test benches within soundinsulated cabins is not mandatory, but with intensive use of test benches
installation within a cabin is highly recommended.
The care taken when assembling the structure and the quality of the materials guarantee high levels of noise reduction
from within the vehicle. This allows the test bench to coexist with any surrounding working or residential environment.
The structure can be customised in many
ways; for example, extensive glazing can
be produced to complement a waiting
room/reception so that customers are
presented with the high standard of
technology, and professionalism being
employed on their car for their appreciation.
Technical specifications:
The bearing structure is made up of steel
beams onto which panels are fixed, made
up of a prepainted metal support which
is microperforated to achieve high sound
absorption coefficients. The panels contain
a substantial layer of material with a high
level of soundproofing/sound absorption
with certified reduction coefficient.
The cabin is equipped with a suitably
sized ventilation system to allow correct
internal air exchange and minimise the
risk of reaching high temperatures which
distort the results of the tests carried out
at bench.
Images presented in this document are for illustrative purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive.
18
The ventilation system, like the exhaust
gas intake system, is suitably silenced
through silencers with sound absorbing
partitions in order to insulate all possible
noise. Every structure access point and
visual element is produced with extreme
attention to detail; the thresholds and
stops are suitably lined with seals for total
insulation. The cabin can be equipped
with LPG and Methane sensors and
corresponding alarm. The cabin is a turn-
key product; supply includes electrical
system, lighting and electrical system
control panel.
