Suprocktech wireless torque sensors installation and data collection
Posted on
Francesco gives a demonstration of the ease of installation and use of our strain-based wireless shaft torque sensors. The sensor in this video has been configured to measure dynamic torque. Just like a traditional strain gage, the modules can be orientated for different parameters such as bending stress. Because of the extreme sensitivity and dynamic […]
SuprockTech’s TDMS featured in EPRI hydropower journal
Posted on
Our TDMS torsional vibration system has been featured in thus month’s EPRI Journal. It outlines how our data from our sensors has helped Duke Energy establish a more comprehensive plan for their upcoming upgrade at Bad Creek Pumped Storage Station. “By using the sensors, we’ve identified frequencies of concern that indicate torsional vibration,” said Duncan.
