The Datum Electronics Series 430 torque trials kit is designed to measure the on-shaft torque for trials applications on rotating shafts between 30mm to 1100mm in diameter. It can be used of simple testing of power levels or as a key tool within extended trials to assess fuel efficiency or performance improvements.
The system is designed for measuring power and torque on drive shafts, applications including marine ship shafts, prop shafts and vehicle drive shafts. The trials kit measures the on-shaft torque with the addition of being able to provide a second channel of strain data. This can be torque, plus one other, normally this would be speed in order to give a power measurement information through the shaft. Other useful measurement examples include, torque, thrust, bending and load.
Measurement & Analysis The Datum Electronics Torque Trials Kit does more than just measure Torque; it can 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
• Shaft Vibration
The main advantage of the Series 430 shaft power and torque trials kit is how easy the instrumentation is to install, set up, test and operate. The trials kit consists of three main component elements making this trials application system as easy and simple and possible.
System Advantages
The system is simple and easy to install logging directly to a PC or laptop with the aid of its installation software Disk. Other advantages include:
• Measures Shaft Power, Shaft Torque & Shaft Speed as a basic function
• Easy to install with a step-by-step guide
• Logs, records and displays ‘real time’ data
• Portable & lightweight design
• User Friendly software
• Compatible with 2 data channels and shaft speed
