Chris does a quick demo and rundown of a custom lovejoy coupling with embedded torque sensor. This is an excellent and minimally invasive method of adding torque monitoring to electric motors and all sorts of industrial equipment. The dynamic range and sensitivity of Suprock sensors allows the custom coupling to be built with equal or […]
Modern grid issues, old age and flex-ops has brought numerous new problems to the hydropower industry. One of these is generator rim float. Hydroelectric assemblies are rather stout and can run with minor float issues but as the problem worsens it can lead to an irregular air-gap, key fretting, accentuated magnetic forces between the rotor […]
Recently we helped out our neighbors to the north with Hydro TG torsional monitoring in the most prestigious powerhouses in North America. Our friends at OPG were interested in monitoring TG performance and civil structure performance on the Niagara Sir Adam Beck plant. The installations were performed in conjunction with Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) […]
In critical aerospace applications, it is not uncommon to lose millions of dollars a year in wasted time and material whenever worn tooling or forming defects produce subpar fasteners. Keeping a close eye on machine components with our strain based die monitoring is a great way see these problems developing before a defective piece falls […]
“Acquiring virtuous signals from the dynamic universe builds a construct in which the true search for truth may begin. The supposition of a static signal only exposes fears of what we do not know. Such beliefs are the old way. The path to understanding any system is to embrace the transient nature of space and […]
