Teledyne Instruments - Test Services (TTS) offers a unique Automotive Torque testing tool, the RT100 Torque Sensing System, designed for long term in-vehicle or dynamometer testing. No outboard wiring or slip rings are required.
The RT100 is entirely weatherproof making it an excellent choice for fleet testing. The RT100 uses non-contact, data transfer technology providing the user with a clean and responsive signal. Power is supplied to the rotating collar inductively eliminating the need for batteries.
The RT100 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 driveshaft.
Features:
- Operates in rain, snow and mud
- Designed for unattended testing
- Shunt calibration from inside the vehicle
