A Strain Gauge for Measuring

Torque measurement is paramount in engine and transmission testing, turbine testing, pump testing and testing of gear trains and power measurement within propulsion systems. Monitoring torque can be critical to the performance of axles, drive trains, gear drives, and electric and hydraulic motors. Other in-plant applications include gas and steam turbines. Really, torque is an important factor in anything that rotates or spins on a shaft, spindle or axle. In this research, the shaft w for the application of a “V shaped” strain gauge; torque on a rotating shaft. The implementation of the transducer will be executed. This paper also discusses transducer with Spider8 measurement electronics, diagram of the measuring chain, main points of the measuring software and the measurement accuracy. T tested with simulated loads. The structure possible for measuring torque with strain gauges on it. This saves wear on the drive system and increases product quality.
