One of the most common methods for measuring torque on an existing shaft is to use a torque telemetry system. The primary advantage of these systems is that they do not require shaft modification and can be easily connected to a strain gage that is attached directly...
What is Ship Performance Monitoring? In a general sense, ship performance monitoring involves the regular collection of data (usually from a vast array of sensors) as part of an assessment of the performance of your ship or fleet. For any ship manufacturer or fleet...
Why do I need to measure torque and power? Why is it so important? The simple answer is, “Because it saves time and money.” Knowing the true mechanical torque and power on a rotating shaft is especially valuable when it comes to commissioning new...
Strain gages (sometimes referred to as strain gauges) are exceptionally useful measurement tools, often because of their sensitivity. As evidence, strain gages are typically used as the sensing elements in precision load cells, the most precise “load”...
One of the most common questions we get when it comes to our torque telemetry is: Why do I need mechanical torque measurements when my drive (such as an engine or an AC motor) already provides a torque (or power) measurement? The short answer is that mechanical torque...
