Series 430 Shaft Power Measurement Kits
Series 430 Shaft Power Measurement Kits
Shaft Power Measurement Kits are available in two formats, the standard and the compact kit. The compact kit is ideal for single day trials, while the standard one is used for long duration trials of between 30-60 days.
Datum Shaft Power Measurement Kits open the opportunity to collect torque, power and RPM data accurately on site. The new Shaft Power Measuring Kits from Datum Electronics provide engineers with the opportunity to measure and monitor shaft power accurately in the field. The kit can be applied using minimal skills in six simple steps and provide accurate data on a portable PC within less than an hour.
Key Features
The kits are available in two formats, the standard kit that provides data from the shaft for long duration trials of between 30-60 day and is supplied in a robust weatherproof shaft housing. The second format is a compact version, ideal for single day trials, to access power levels and torque characteristics such as start-up or maximum torque levels.
Both Kits have been designed to be easily fitted with a minimal of on-site operations. The strain gauges used are supplied with the connector to remove the need for soldering and have an encapsulated coating to simplify environmental sealing.
The system provides an output of shaft torque, shaft rpm and shaft power. The instrumentation has an accuracy of 0.1%
Each Kit is supplied with a simple to use PC utility to display and log the data and optional interface is available to provide 4-20mA or +/-10vdc for logging and control systems.

Measurement & Analysis
The Datum Electronics Torque Trials Kit does more than just measure Torque; it can be used to verify power outputs from engines and motors.
THE FOLLOWING DATA CAN BE MEASURED AND ANALYSED:
- Power Transmission
Torque Trials
Vibration and Torsional Acceleration
Power Transients
- Peak Torque Levels
Power Delivery
Shaft Vibration
The main advantage of the Series 430 shaft power and torque trials kit is how easy the instrumentation is to install, set up, test and operate. The trials kit consists of three main component elements making this trials application system as easy and simple and possible.
