RCbenchmark Series 1580/1585
Test Stand
Professional tool for medium sized drones
A premium test stand that measures everything you need to know about your propulsion system. Record thrust, torque, voltage, current, motor rotation speed, vibration, and efficiency.
The RCbenchmark Series 1585 is a new and improved version of the Series 1580. It has a better dynamic response, a higher power capability, and a better electrical noise immunity for cleaner measurements.
It comes with a USB interface and software for automated control and data-logging.
Measure Motor and Propeller Efficiency
Maxime flight time and performance
The RCbenchmark Series 1580/1585 measures torque and derives the efficiency of your motor. It provides professional characterization and helps you to find the optimal propulsion components for your project.
