| The TMS 9000 is intended to measure torque in
a rotating shaft by using a specially designed digital wireless
telemetry system, which provides power to the rotating sensor as
well as providing two-way communications capability. A multiplexing
option can expand the wireless telemetry capabilities to include
other sensors that may be present within the rotating system, typically
measuring forces, moments and temperatures, as well as the shaft
torque. |

(1) Flexible Mechanical formats
As standard the TMS9000 can offer the following five styles of connection
to your rotating equipment
1. DIN flange pattern
2. SAE flange patterns

1. Easy maintenance
2. Ease of shaft removal
3. Smaller installation footprint
Applications for the TMS 9000
Used for measuring torque (and other parameters)
within rotating shafts, as typically found in dynamometers for engine
and transmission testing. Also used for a wide variety of other applications
such as turbine testing, pump testing, NVH testing of gear trains and
power measurement within propulsion systems.
Based on the
technology, how is this product unique?
More than a traditional stand alone sensor,
the TMS 9000 is a torque measurement system that includes multiple analog,
frequency and digital outputs. The TMS 9000 is software driven using
a custom designed 19-bit digital wireless telemetry system to maximizes
resolution and frequency response while also being able to provide excitation
power across the wireless gap. The telemetry system communicates both
ways therefore the setup and operation of the rotating sensor can be
controlled from the host and setups can be changed "on the fly"
without interrupting testing. The high resolution allows a sensor to
be used over a larger measurement range than traditional sensors, and
the user can set the operating range in software without affecting the
calibration. The TMS 9000 is designed to evolve with the markets needs,
and can be expanded using standard PC104 cards.
How will it change the way people work?
The TMS 9000 is a digital system with no switches
or potentiometers. Input scaling and output scaling is independent and
is determined by the user and can be tailored to the test conditions
required at the time. Therefore one capacity of sensor can be used where
several different capacities may have been required previously. All
setup and calibration information is stored in parameter files and can
be recalled on demand, allowing the user to repeat a test using the
same test conditions that applied originally
