Ship torque meter TSX5

for propeller shafts

Proven, accurate and real time measurement of power to water First step to making real efficiency gains Early indicator of hull fouling Critical hardware for a ship performance monitoring system Designated component for an EEXI compliant shaft power limitation system (ShaPoLi) Trelleborg's SeaTechnikTM TSX5 Torsionmeter employs a full strain gauge bridge - the most accurate method of measuring torque. The strain-gauges detect minute deformation of the shaft under torque and convert this strain into a small analogue voltage. Non-contact electro-magnetics energize the rotor circuitry which converts the small signal into digital data for transmission to the local stator unit. A local multi-page display or control console version is an integrall part of the TSX5. The user can read at any time, instantaneous power, torque and revs/min, cumulative power and revs, set-up data via a supervisor level and diagnostic data Features High accuracy and repeatability Digital system for data processing Full data connectivity via all formats All units include display for data and diagnostics Optional thrust measurement Essential instrument for energy optimizing Applications ⮚ Shaft torque, speed, power measurement ⮚ Thrust measurement option ⮚ Essential instrument for energy optimization Connectivity: Outputs to Integrated Automation System (IAS). Distrib-uted Control System (DCS), Main Automation Contractor System (MACS) and Ship Performance Monitor (SPM) Systems are standard via galvanically isolated 4..20mA. or serial data ports. Data for trials or machinery investigation can even be read by direct connection to a laptop computer.
