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 […]
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) […]
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 […]
Grid behavior in today’s power generation environment is a stochastic system that is more variable than in the past. One common issue is the response to economic dispatch, in which formerly baseload thermal generation units are now operating as load-following or peaking units and incurring substantive mechanical and thermal stress. Operation of these units outside […]
