Kop-Flex Torque Monitoring Systems

PageCopy1

This is a performance measuring system designed to measure output power, torque, speed and temperature through monitoring a coupling. The principal behind the POWERLIGN^® torque monitoring system is to measure torque deflection on the coupling spacer via sensors. The coupling spacer integrates two sets of intermeshed pick up (gear) teeth. Each set is attached to the ends of the spacer. Two sensors are located over the pick up teeth, at 180° to each other, near the rotating coupling.

Digital phase-shift, non-strain gauge system. Simplicity of design and few robust components reduces margin for error – with accuracy within +1%.
Kop-Flex will assist you in each step through coupling design, Powerlign integration and field support. All from a single source for quick integration.
There is no electrical power are present in the coupling or in the coupling environment. This makes these safer and more reliable than other torque measuring devices.
Compact design with patented Powerwheel technology.
Use the stand alone display unit for a seamless integration. It is also possible to connect the Powerlign conditioning unit directly to a DCS like the Emerson Delta V or other DCS protocols. Contact Kop-Flex representative today.
Significant cost savings – considering that a 40 MW gas turbine consumes $8 Million per year, one percent efficiency equates to $80,000 in annual savings.
Aids in environmental compliance efforts by helping to reduce NOx emissions through improved fuel monitoring.
Retrofit – for most applications a new spacer with patented Powerwheel can be inserted without disturbing the existing half couplings. Easy to modify coupling guards to include two monopole sensors. Electronics are easy to connect including connecting to your existing DCS system.
ATEX, CE and CSA certified.
