AMS Torque Meter System (TMS)

This is a permanent monitoring system which measures the actual (effective) power output of any diesel engine at all times. The torque meter consists of 2 metal tapes with magnetic pattern, two sensors and a transmitter. The tape provides 150~600 pulses per revolution. The sequential magnetic north and south poles of the tape are detected by the sensors. Then the microprocessor based transmitter detects the shift of pulses of the second tape (the twist of the shaft) and calculates the torque. The measurements can be then transferred to a P/C for further evaluation of the results.

With TMS you can measure :

Shaft Power
Shaft torque
RPM
Average Torque, Power and RPM, set from 2 to 250 revolutions.
