Torque measurements

Stork Optimization Services performs couple measurements on location using stretch strips. This is usually done on gearboxes and screw axles. We can perform measurements continually using our advanced RMC-sensor telemetric system.

This system can send current static and dynamic (torsion vibration) couples of the stretch strip on the axle via an amplifier to the RMC-unit. The volt signal can be converted proportionally to the elasticity to a couple value. The measured values are recorded in a data logger. The measured values are not influenced by bending or temperature changes due to the "full bridge" stretch strip application.

The RMC unit measures several parameters

Couple (static and dynamic)
Power
Pressure
Temperature
Acceleration

Advantages of the RMC-unit

Short set-up time
No more solder resistance needed on amplifier unit
Freely adjustable measurement range and zero setting measurements
High resolution of measurement signals due to variable measurement range
Integrated rpm recorder
