Torquemeter - POWERLIGN®

Return to Products Home

This is a performance measuring system designed to measure output power, torque, speed and temperature through monitoring a coupling.  The principal behind the POWERLIGN 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 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.
  • Safety and reliability: unlike other torque measuring devices, no electronics or electrical power is present in the coupling or in the coupling environment.
  • Compact design with patented Powerwheel technology.
  • Seamless integration - use the stand alone display unit (as shown here) or connect the Powerlign conditioning unit directly to a DCS like the Emerson's 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 effeciency 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.
  • Applications: Driving to driven turbomachinery like - gas or steam turbine to compressor, compressor to compressor, motor to compressor, turbine to boiler feed pump, turbine to generator, test stands, perforamance testing on site, expander, gas reinjection and more.
  • Industries: Petrochemical plants, gas pipelines, refineries, LNG, Test stands, Power plants, Energy storage, Marine Propulsion and more.
