Torque Transducers, Torque Sensors and other torque measurement solutions

Torque Transducers

Torque transducers from Datum Electronics offer rotational and static torque measure systems from 0-10,000Nm as standard. With either flange or keyway shafts our torque transducers transmit digital data giving a clean reliable signal.

Torque Sensors








Torque sensors from Datum Electronics provide an effective, reliable and cost effective method of measuring torque in rotary machinery. We are one of the UK's top torque measurement specialists supplying torque sensors to some of the worlds leading organisations.

   Torque Sensors

Applications

Torque measurement can be used in a number of different applications and for different requirements. Renault F1 the winning formula 1 team in 2006, have used our torque sensors to aid with engine test and development. With a rotary shaft speed of up to 14,000rpm measuring torque up to 100Nm our RS420 concept design was the selected product chosen.

Product

We have a standard range of torque sensors and instrumentation which we have developed over a number of years. Measuring torque in Newton Meters (Nm) as standard, we can measure torque from as low as 5Nm up to and including 500,000Nm. We use a strain gauged shaft; that can be incorporated into most commercially available drivelines via either a keyway, spline or flange shaft configurations.

   Marine Torsion Meters

Applications

Our position within the Marine Market was reinforced with the award from the Royal Navy to provide 15 ships with Marine Torsionmeter Systems in 2005. Scheduled for completion in 2008, the Marine System went through stringent naval tests and specifications before the first ship installations began during early 2007.

Product

Datum Electronics Marine Torsionmeter Systems provide an accurate tool to assess and monitor propeller shafts on ships by measuring shaft speed, torque and power. Installed on a ships propeller shaft or shafts and uses strain gauge technology providing a highly accurate non-contact method of measuring shaft torque. Applications available for sea trials, permanent fit, dual or single shaft applications, with shaft sizes from 160mm-1100mm diameter.

   Load Cell Amplifiers

Applications

Datum Load Cell Amplifers can be used in a number of different processing applications requiring signal amplification for control and monitoring. One such example in Australia required the end user to monitor a 100mm steel beam at a Nuclear facility. The beam oscillates from tension and compression at 100Hz, in terms of measurement, the Datum Type 131 Load Cell Amplifier met all requirements.

Product

Datum Electronics load cell amplifiers, amplify the signal from a large majority of commercially available load cells with a full bridge connection. Amplifying this signal allows the user to use the data from the load cell in a more efficient and productive way. Reading the signal from a load cell amplifier can be difficult, but with a Datum Electronics load cell amplifier, the job is made simpler, easier, and more efficient.

   Power Take Off (PTO)

Applications

Our PTO systems are used both in the field and for machine testing in mainly agricultural environments and have been sold around the world including Shelbourne Reynolds (UK). Positioned between the tractor PTO (Power Take Off) and the drive coupling or input shaft for stripper headers, elevators, grain augers and silage blowers.

   Bolt On Sensors

Applications

Bolt-On sensors are ideal for weighing applications for silos and weigh hoppers. Mix ‘n’ Batch required a number of Bolt-ons for 6 Silos with both square and round legs. They selected our 3-hole temperature compensated units with custom cable length requirements.

Product

The series 460 Bolt-on strain gauge from Datum Electronics offer two types of multi-element bolt-on strain sensor that have been developed to provide a rugged and robust production sensor with the benefits associated with a complex strain gauge installation. Designed to measure tensile and compressive bending stresses they can be used in applications including: vehicles, civil engineering structures, silos, hoppers and specialist engineering projects.

   Power Measurement

Applications

Large scale concrete production is critical for large scale developments such as those at Terminal 5, Heathrow. Being able to control and monitor the quality of concrete being produced was being disrupted due to the consistency of power being supplied. Controlling the power going into the mix is critical in terms of controlling consistency, and this was not possible due to fluctuating power levels from the national grid. AMEC came to Datum Electronics to help with their requirements for power measurement and control.

Product

Rotary test rigs often require various analysis and control measurement requirements for testing and analysis of power. Powertrain test stands often require additional measurement features which are secondary to the primary role of the equipment including torque measuring devices to control and monitor power train levels. Datum Electronics manufacture a wide range of torque transducers and sensors designed for use with high temperature, high torque, and high speed variations our transducers can cater for a wide range of requirements.
