Torque Sense is a Shaft Torque and Power Measurement solution. It is a shaft-agnostic system, as it can be easily installed on any shaft as compared to popularly known strain gauges for measuring torque on propeller shafts. Measurement of the twist of the marine propeller shaft helps analyze the Torque on the shaft so it can be used effectively to limit emissions and enhance environmental sustainability.
Benefits of TorqueSense
Easy To Install And Operate
Installation takes 2 hours without the need for hazardous chemicals, tools, etc
In-Situ & Remote Monitoring
It can be monitored both on site - and remotely, allowing for flexibility and convenience in monitoring.
Non-Invasive Setup
Our system uses two non-invasive MPU sensors to calculate the torque of the propeller. Both sensors are calibrated once in a lifetime without any customization.
Unaffected By External Conditions.
The system's reliability and accuracy of torque output are not affected by external conditions like dust, dirt, and temperature.
No Speed Limit For The Operation
Torque Sense has no speed restrictions ; it works well with any type of speed and gives the correct output.
Emission Control
Torque measurement plays a crucial role in ensuring emission control on marine vessels. The measurement of torque assesses the power output of the propulsion system, which directly impacts fuel consumption and emissions.
Applications of TorqueSense
Torque Measurement
To monitor the power and torque transmitted by the shaft.
Torque Limiter
In certain cases, it may be essential to limit the torque and Power on the drive equipment to maintain efficiency, fuel consumption, or emissions. The system can give an output signal if torque falls outside a specified range.
Installation and Setup for TorqueSense
Torque Measurement System (Torquesense) is designed to provide accurate and real-time measurements of the shaft. This installation is typically performed by technical experts to ensure proper setup and functionality. The critical requirements for setup are as follows:
Two non-invasive MPU Sensors
Two Poll Bands
Step 1: Poll Band Installation
Two pole bands are mounted on the shaft at a distance of approximately 3.5 times the diameter of the shaft. These act as targets for the speed sensors.
Step 2: Sensor Setup
Two Magnetic Pickup sensors measure the phase shift of the two signals once they are zero-calibrated. The phase shift of the signals is the Twist in the Shaft (Torsion).
Step 3: Connection To The Torque Measurement System
Following the initial setup, our technical expert will proceed to establish the connection between the sensors and the torque measurement system.
