Teledyne Instruments - Test Services (TTS) has developed a torque testing tool for CV shafts. The FT100 Torque Sensing System is designed for long term in-vehicle or dynamometer testing. No slip rings or outboard wiring are required.
The FT100 is entirely weatherproof making it an excellent choice for fleet testing. The FT100 uses non-contact, digital data transfer technology providing the user with a clean and responsive signal.
Power is inductively supplied to the rotating collar eliminating the need for batteries. The FT100 is truly a “hands off” torque measurement system, as once installed, it is invisible to the user.
TTS offers this exciting product as a turnkey installation onto the customer’s CV shaft.
Features:
- Operates in rain, snow and mud
- Designed for long-term Fleet Tests
- No components or wiring outboard of wheel
- Digital data transfer for a clean signal
- Analog output with 1 kHz frequency response, user selectable scaling
- Collar size 3.0" OD, 2.75" W, adapts to a range of shaft diameters
- Turnkey installation available with 0.5% accuracy NIST traceable
- Temperature compensated from -40 to +85°C
- No batteries or slip rings
- Racing and dynamometer units available
Applications:
- Engine development
- Transmission development
- Powertrain torque monitoring
- Traction control
- Racing vehicles
- Fleet testing
- Customer use testing
