TORQUETRAK SPM-ION
TORQUE & POWER MONITORING SYSTEM
The TorqueTrak SPM-iON is a state-of-the-art strain gage-based solution designed to provide torque, RPM, and power measurements on rotating shafts, without the need for shaft disassembly or modification. The system only includes two primary components and does not require a base mount. The innovative chain link design allows for fast lead times, simplified installation, and easy interchangeability between shaft sizes. Electronics are encased in potting and protected by a strong metallic housing, ensuring reliable long-term operation in the most abusive environments.

Features & Benefits
Modular – The chain link design of the collar allows for easy change between shaft diameters. Chain links are quickly added or removed using standard hardware.
Fast Lead Times – Due to the chain link design of the collar, parts are stocked and ready to ship. No time-extensive machining required.
No Base Mount Required – The stand-alone shaft “clamp-on” collar assembly requires no base mount. This eliminates the need for custom mounting brackets or on-site welding. Installation is dramatically simplified.
High Accuracy – The use of a strain gage sensor and a 24-bit ADC ensure the most accurate measurements possible.
Multiplexing – A single receiver can work with up to four shaft collar transmitters, reducing installation complexity and overall cost.
Built-In Gyro – Shaft speed is measured with internal gyro, eliminating need for more cable runs. Power is automatically calculated from torque and speed measurements.
Low Maintenance – Highly optimized electronics ensure minimal electricity consumption for the transmitter, with battery autonomy of two years. Sleep mode is also available when the shaft is not turning, extending the battery life even longer. Battery replacements take minutes.
