Special torque measurement on rotating machinery
Developments in signal processing and transmission have greatly enhanced the capability of torque transducers, leading to improved machine efficiency, accurate monitoring, reduced failure rates
The torque signal is derived from strain gauges installed on to the shafts.
The signals are transmitted from the shaft rotor to the shaft stator unit providing a display of torque.
The Kit is mounted on to the shaft and remains on the shaft whilst trials take place.
The Trials Kit can fit all types of shaft with a diameter between 60mm-1100mm.
* Data analysis - measuring Torque on a shaft can provide an array statistical data providing useful information on shaft performance.
The Datum Electronics Torque Trials Kit does more than just measure Torque; it can also be used to verify power outputs from engines and motors.
The following data can also be measured and analysed: power transmission; torque trials; vibration and torsional acceleration; power transients; peak torque levels; power delivery and shaft vibration.
* Accurate measurement - the Trials Kit, once installed on shaft, transmits digital data (RS232) which can be monitored, analysed and recorded into our monitoring system.
Because the data is digital data, it is noise immune and easy to process with a USB or serial interface.
This provides a clear clean signal of Torque with a system accuracy of 0.1%.
* Applications - the Datum Electronics Shaft Torque Trials Kit can be used on a variety of shaft sizes in a number of different environments and applications.
The Kit has been designed primarily for use within the Marine Industry on ship shafts'; however, the opportunities extend well beyond the Marine Industry.
Applications include: wind turbines; railway maintenance and yards; vehicle transmission; drive shafts; steel works; heavy industry and agricultural and mining applications.
