Torque Monitoring: Cutting Downtime and Protecting Mission-Critical Assets

What if you could see exactly how hard your critical rotating equipment is working before problems surface? In this conversation with TurboMachinery International, Emmet Stiff, Business Development Manager at Regal Rexnord, dives into the practical value of torque monitoring. He explains why measuring torque on both input and output shafts matters, what types of torque can be captured, and how accurate real-time measurements truly are. Real-world applications demonstrate where coupling-based torque monitoring has delivered measurable benefits, all while breaking down how these systems are integrated into both new and existing equipment from a mechanical, electrical, and digital standpoint. By utilizing torque data, operators and engineers can make smarter decisions and support more reliable operations.

Objectives:

• Learn what a torque monitoring system is and how it measures the torque and power on the shafts between your critical rotating equipment.
• Discover current applications for phase-displacement torque meter technology.
• Understand integration aspects of a torque monitoring system for your critical rotating equipment.
