Marine Telemetry

Accumetrics provides digital rotor telemetry systems for safely transmitting strain, torque, pressure, temperature, and vibration measurements from shafts, even those rotating at high RPM. Our systems can be used on both electric drive ships as well as for conventional propulsion ships and take advantage of both single and multi-channel digital wireless telemetry.

Maritime Telemetry Applications Include

• Torque and horsepower measurements on propulsion shafts
• Engine torque and temperature monitoring
• Multi-channel vibration monitoring on rotating structures, including propeller shaft vibration monitoring

Application Notes

• Torque Monitoring for Electric Drive Ships - Monitor drive shaft torque in the presence of high EMI from variable speed drive circuitry (as seen in DD(X) and other high power / highly noise prone AC drive designs) with no dropouts and high resolution
  
• Torque Measurements on Tugboat Main Propeller Driveshaft - Computing engine operational efficiency with torque data measured from 12.5 in diameter main driveshaft
