FCS To Market Digital

Torque Meter System

FCS, Inc. is scheduled to market its precision Digital Torque Meter

System manufactured by

Instruments, Computers and

Controls Corp. (IC3). The system measures shaft hp and rpm by employing fiber optics to detect the twist in a rotating shaft. Real time measurement at all speeds is accomplished without signal con- version by processing the digital outputs from two stationary sen- sors as interrupters mounted on the shaft pass through a beam of visible light once per revolution.

Installation reportedly requires no drilling, welding or machining.

Calibration is accomplished at start-up by programmable means, without the need for any addition- al test equipment, and can be veri- fied by operating personnel.
