Press Release - PMAC 2000 measures torque and controls mechanical devices.

Lake Orion, MI – The PMAC 2000 (Process Monitor & Controller) can be coupled with SDI's model 01224 rotating torque sensor to form a powerful system, which not only measures transmitted torque, but also generates control signals, which can be used to control mechanical devices.

Torque sensors are available with measurement capacities from 50 in.ozs. to 20,000 in.lbs. The 01224 sensor consists of a strain gaged shaft contained in a ball bearing supported housing, which is placed "in-line" in a rotating mechanical system. Applied torque creates minute shaft deflections, which are sensed by the strain gages, and transmitted to the stationary "world" by means of coined silver "slip rings". Each sensor contains an integral EEPROM containing calibration and identification data related to the sensor. The sensor is connected to the PMAC 2000 instrument by means of a supplied cable.

The PMAC 2000 instrument automatically "reads" the EEPROM of the connected sensor and adjusts its internal settings accordingly to display correctly scaled readings in the proper engineering units. The operator can set arbitrary acceptance limits and operational modes for the instrument using front panel controls. The system can be set to monitor continuously, monitor peak torque only, or record data over a time period at various sampling rates. When connected to a standard PC through its serial port, it can be configured using a companion "Windows" program. The serial port also allows "upoading" of data gathered by the instrument into a "spreadsheet" file. The system can also display rotational angle and/or rpm using an internal encoder within the sensor.

The Instrument is battery powered and portable, but can also be supplied in a fixed, line powered, NEMA housing.
