Wireless Torque and Thrust Measurement With Position Using Shear Strain Gauges And Encoder

In today's industrial landscape, precision, efficiency, and real-time data collection are paramount, especially when it comes to measuring torque and thrust in critical applications such as valve operations, manufacturing processes, and heavy machinery. EPSSAT’s Wireless Torque and Thrust Measurement System—integrated with Shear Strain Gauges and Encoders—offers a cutting-edge solution for accurate and real-time performance monitoring without the hassle of complex wiring systems.

Why Wireless Torque and Thrust Measurement Matters?

Traditional torque and thrust measurement systems often rely on wired setups that are complex to install and manage, especially in environments where mobility and flexibility are essential. Wireless solutions remove the need for physical connections, reducing installation time and costs, while also enhancing the flexibility and scalability of the system. The data collected from torque and thrust measurements is critical for monitoring the operational health and efficiency of systems such as valves, actuators, and rotating equipment.

Key Features of Our Wireless System

  1. Shear Strain Gauges for Precision
    Shear strain gauges are an integral part of the measurement system, enabling highly accurate detection of minute strains in mechanical components. By measuring the deformation of components under stress, these gauges allow us to calculate the exact torque and thrust being exerted. This level of precision is critical in industries like oil & gas, aerospace, and industrial automation, where even the smallest discrepancies can have significant implications for safety and efficiency.
  2. Real-Time Data Transmission with Wireless Technology
    Our system employs advanced wireless technology to transmit data from the strain gauges and encoders directly to a centralized control unit or cloud-based monitoring platform. This real-time transmission eliminates the delays often experienced with wired systems and allows for immediate adjustments in operational parameters, ensuring optimal performance.
  3. Position Monitoring Using Encoders
    In addition to torque and thrust measurement, our system is equipped with high-resolution encoders to accurately monitor the position of components in real-time. Encoders provide precise angular or linear position data, which is critical in applications such as valve control where the exact position of the valve stem directly impacts flow rates and system performance.
  4. Integration with Local RTU (PLC)
    Our wireless system can seamlessly integrate with local RTUs (Remote Terminal Units) or PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers). This ensures that data from the shear strain gauges, encoders, and other sensors are processed and utilized for real-time decision-making. The system can be configured to trigger alarms, adjust operational parameters, or even shut down systems in the event of anomalies.

Applications of Wireless Torque and Thrust Measurement

  • Valve Industry:
    In the valve industry, torque and thrust are critical parameters that determine whether a valve is operating within its specified limits. Our system enables continuous, real-time monitoring of these parameters, ensuring that valves perform efficiently and safely, particularly in high-pressure and high-temperature environments.
  • Rotating Machinery:
    In rotating equipment, such as turbines, pumps, and compressors, wireless torque and thrust measurement allows operators to monitor performance and predict mechanical failures before they occur. This leads to reduced downtime and maintenance costs, improving overall productivity.
  • Automotive and Aerospace Engineering:
    Torque and thrust measurements are vital in the testing and operation of components in automotive and aerospace industries. Our system provides the precision required for ensuring that parts meet stringent safety and performance standards.
