THE DIGITAL TORQUE METER SYSTEM

Manufactured by IC3

The Digital Torque Meter (DTM) System measures shaft horsepower and RPM by employing fiber optics to detect the twist in a rotation shaft. Real time measurement at all speeds is accomplished without signal conversion by processing the digital out- puts from tow stationary sensors as inter- rupters, mounted on the shaft, pass through a beam of visible light once per revolution. No drilling, welding or machin- ing is normally required for installation.

Calibration is accomplished at start-up by programmable means, without the need for any additional test equipment and can be easily verified by operating personnel. The

DTM System consists of an electronic dis- play/enclosure , fiber optic cables, station- ary sensors (orange) and interrupters (white) as shown to the left. • COMPETITIVELY PRICED • FIBER OPTIC DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY • ACCURATE, REPEATABLE, RELIABLE • SIMPLIFIED INSTALLATION & CALIBRATION • 24 HOUR TECHNICAL SUPPORT LINE
