Wireless Torque Monitoring
Don't get it twisted, the holy grail of torque monitoring is here
Measuring torque/torsional vibrations is a vital measurement in any industry with rotating equipment such as power production, marine, automotive, transportation, manufacturing, milling, aerospace, oil and gas, etc.
Traditional methods of torque monitoring are often cumbersome and take significant time to install. Our module with built-in strain gauges installs quickly and easily with welded studs or adhesive, eliminating the need for soldering, wiring, and strain gage adhesives.
True wireless power, picostrain sensitivity, unparalleled frequency response, and 24-bit resolution are now possible in a small, easy to install package. Signals are directly digitized on the telemetry package ensuring utmost data transmission reliability.

The RF powered torque module is a single or twin channel strain based torque telemetry system designed for long-term torque testing of rotating shafts.
- RF Power allows for installations where the shaft experiences a lot of vertical or lateral movement
- Picostrain sensitivity
- Extremely rugged, proven in military vehicle applications
- Fits wide range of shaft diameters
- 7,812 Samples per second capable
- On-board temperature sensor
- Excellent frequency response for torsional vibration studies
- Optional: 2-Channel capable for simultaneous bending and torque measurements
Our battery powered torque module is well suited one-off or repeated short term measurements. It sports all of the same features as our wireless powered torque module, except it is powered by a lithium coin cell battery.
- Runs for 10 hours on CR2032 coin battery
- Picostrain sensitivity
- Extremely rugged, proven in military vehicle applications
- Fits wide range of shaft diameters
- 7,812 Samples per second capable
- On-board temperature sensor
- Excellent frequency response for torsional vibration studies
The TDMS is research grade torque and torsional vibration telemetry originally designed to meet the stringent demands of nuclear industry qualifications. Using the power of Quad, it is able to capture complex mode shapes from equipment such as turbines, large pumps and reciprocating engines, making it the ultimate tool for turbine-generator qualification and root cause analysis.
The TDMS features fully wireless power and data allowing for direct shaft mounting of the telemetry for the best signal to noise ratio possible. Quad sensors measure real-time torsional strain, lateral strain, radial acceleration, and tangential acceleration, capturing a full picture of torsional modes from a single axial location.
TDMS can be installed in minutes on rotor requiring no engineering changes, saving plant operators days to weeks of valuable time during outages. The system is designed for close-quarter installations such as inside bearing housings with oil spray.
