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 […]
Our EU partners at Haptica Milano are employing our wireless torque monitoring technology to help their client diagnose a torsional vibration issue on vehicle shafts and its relation to resonances in the body. Our wireless torque modules powered by our newest Equinox telemetry is capable of 31ksps of dynamic and static strain for measuring torsion, […]
Reduced staff and ever changing environment make it difficult to keep machines running optimally. One of the best ways to combat this problem is by monitoring important parameters such as vibration, pressure, temperature, etc. Machine health monitoring allows operators to better prioritize their time for a smoother running shop and less downtime. Our free DAQ […]
The situation: Von Mises stress calculations on Hydro unit forced plant operators to run well below rated capacity of 57.5MW. Running at 55MW, the rotor was calculated to be exceeding the material limits of 8000psi shear and 13,333.33psi von Mises combined stress when running at capacity. The solution: live torque monitoring of the shaft (as […]
Hydropower Monitoring Solutions Modern grid issues, old age and flex-ops have brought numerous new problems to the hydropower industry. A comprehensive monitoring system is the best way to stay ahead of the curve. While hydroturbine equipment can be quite stout, excessive start-stops, running loads outside design parameters, cavitation, rim float, and structural issues are becoming […]
