Torque monitoring goes on the shaft

Two systems provide effective on-shaft torque monitoring on a wide range of shafts
Drive shafts and prop shafts transmit power in machinery throughout the world.
In many cases they are driven to the limits in applications such as motorsport or are subject to occasional overload in applications such as factory drive systems.
Whatever the application an accurate and simple measurement of the torque transmitted can be invaluable to improve designs, protect the machinery and monitor or control its performance.
The two systems offered by Datum provide effective on-shaft torque monitoring which will fit a wide range of shafts - which type will vary depending on the requirements.
The first is the Series DSTT420 which is designed to fit on to permanent installations and is self powered.
The second is the Series DSTT430 which is designed to be used as a trails kit, which is powered by batteries, which uses short range telemetry technology transmitted to a receiver.
The Series DSTT420 is the "permanent" solution which is self-powered, allowing the transducer to be installed on the majority of drive shafts and is robust enough to work in harsh environments.
There is no need to move or disrupt the equipment connected to the drive shaft, Datum can install directly on to the shaft.
This is the recommended option for continuous condition monitoring.
Series DSTT430 is Datum's trials version of the permanent solution.
The Series 430 is battery powered and a completely self-contained shaft unit that uses short range telemetry technology to transmit the digital data to a receiver.
The receiver has a transmission range of up to 30m and can sample raw data at 300 samples per second.
The battery can replaced or recharged as and when necessary.
The DSTT offers on-shaft torque monitoring providing a range of different analysis allowing users to increase power efficiency on to the shaft, or enable a more efficient power output through the system.
Users can record and analyse the data, allowing them to make minor changes enabling them to gain that extra efficiency that they require.
