Shaft Torque Transmitters

T-Sense, TT-Sense

Product Description

The T-Sense optical torque sensor is intended for the measurement of torque and shaft power. The output can be used for the measurement of torque and shaft power. This system is used only for monitoring. It consists of three main components: the optical sensor on the shaft (rotor), the stator pedestal with coil and antenna and the electronic control box holding the data receiver, power supply and the data output. When a shaft is subject to torque this will result in a small strain at the shaft surface. A LED and an extremely accurate optical cell can detect these small movements of the surface. The measured values are transferred continuously from the rotating shaft to the stator part through a 2,4 GHz wireless data connection. Power transmission from the stator to the rotating shaft is performed by means of induction., , The TT-Sense optical thrust & torque sensor is intended for the measurement of torque, shaft power and propeller thrust. This system is used only for monitoring. It consists the optical sensors on the shaft (rotor), the stator pedestal with coil and antenna and the electronic control box holding the data receiver, power supply and the data output clamped onto the shaft by means of three rings. When a shaft is subject to thrust and torque this results in a small strain at the shaft surface. LEDs and extremely accurate optical sensors can detect these small displacements, in both axial and radial directions. The measured values are transferred continuously from the rotating shaft to the stator part through wireless data connection. Power transmission from the stator to the rotating shaft is performed by means of induction. The stator part consists of a power transmission coil, a data signal receiver and a control box equipped with digital or analogue output connections. These outputs can be linked directly to the vessels data network, monitoring- or control system.,
