Wireless Rotating Shaft Measurements

Accumetrics’ Induction-powered Telemetry Systems enable wireless measurement of rotating shafts without slip rings, offering solutions from single-channel to custom designs for industries like Marine, Aerospace, Defense, and Power Generation. With durable split-clamp collars, these telemetry systems allow machine designers and maintenance personnel to measure exactly what is happening on rotating components of a wide range of equipment while it is in operation, even at high RPM.

Safe, Reliable, Non-Contact Measurements Even at High Rotational Speed

How can Accumetrics solve your measurement challenges?

• Speed | Measurements transmitted from shafts rotating at speeds as high as 17,000 RPM
• Reliability | High data integrity and noise immunity: No interference seen from ignition, variable frequency motors, drills, etc.
• Ruggedness | Stands up to harsh environments
• Safety | Tired of tape? Equipment is securely fastened to the shaft with a split-clamp collar
• Ease of Installation | With split-clamp collars, installation is quick and simple, in some cases taking as little as 5-10 minutes
• Support | Accumetrics' commitment to Total Customer Satisfaction (TCS) ensures you'll get the support you need to solve your measurement challenges

Accumetrics' telemetry systems are ideal for torque, temperature (thermocouple and RTD), accelerometer, and electrical measurements on drive shafts of motor-generators. These solutions serve as a rugged and non-contact alternative to slip rings.

Why Use Telemetry as a Replacement for Slip Rings?

When using slip rings for measurement, there is contact between the shaft and a stator. Using wireless telemetry instead of slip rings means the system is

• More reliable
• Easier to maintain
• Free of the worry and hassle of worn brushes that require replacement
