Torque Transducers, Torque Sensors and other torque measurement solutions

Marine Torsionmeter Systems

Datum Electronics are a world leader in the supply of Marine Torsionmeters and Shaft Power Meters which measure the on-shaft torque and shaft power of a ships drive shaft. We offer a competitively priced, flexible system which is capable of measuring shafts between 200mm - 900mm diameter.

Our client list includes the Royal Navy supplying 15 Torsionmeters Systems including on-board installation on to the Sandown & Hunt Class ships. Due to the application on minehunters these systems were required to meet the most stringent test requirements regarding electromagnetic radiation and their magnetic properties. We are constantly developing system to meet the challenges from both civil and military applications.


Universal Marine Torsionmeter


Universal Marine Torsionmeter SystemThe Universal Marine Torsionmeter provides a permanent, robust, simple to install and accurate tool to access and monitor the performance and efficiency of the ships transmission system(s). 

It will accurately measure the on-shaft torque, the speed of the shaft(s) rotation and the power that is going through the shaft(s).

This product is supported by a growing Network of Worldwide authorised distributors and installers.



Series 420 Shaft Power Meter

 
The Datum Electronics Series 420 Shaft Power Meter provides an accurate tool to access and monitor the performance and efficiency of the ships transmission system. The system accurately measures the on-shaft torque (kNm), speed of the shaft rotation (rpm) and the power (kW) that is going through the shaft. The system can be applied to both single and dual shaft ship systems.

• Single or Dual Shaft Applications
• Designed to fit ship shafts 200mm – 900mm in diameter
• Easy fit solution that can gives reliable measurement
• Pro-Active Power Measurement
• Condition Monitoring Data provided
• Data Logging Software 



Series 430 Torque Trials Kit

 
Datum Electronics Series 430 Torque Trials Kit will measure the true mechanical torque, power and speed of your ship shaft. Our trials kit is installed on a ships propeller shaft or shafts and uses strain gauge technology providing a highly accurate non-contact method of measuring shaft torque and is perfect for trials applications.

• Simple and easy to install
• The Kit is mounted on to the shaft and remains on shaft during trials
• It will fit all types of shaft with a diameter between 150mm – 1100mm
• USB interface for logging to a laptop, notepad or PC
