Abstract
Test stands for power plants generally include a power absorbing unit for absorbing the power of the plant under test. The allowable measuring speed of the power absorbing unit depends on permissible additional weight on the coupling flange which serves to interconnect the power plant to one end of the power absorbing unit. In order to avoid the detrimental influence of increased amplitudes caused by torsional resonances the weight that exceeds the permissible weight is transferred to the opposite end of the power absorbing unit and the torque of the power plant is introduced in dampened form at that end.
