Torquemeter

A torquemeter is a precision instrument that is commonly utilized with larger reciprocating engines as well as turboprop or turboshaft engines. It measures the torque that is generated between the propeller reduction gears and the engine case. This device plays a critical role in determining the rotational force of the engine and can provide readings in real-time, aiding in the effectiveness of the engine’s operation. By measuring this torque, the torquemeter can help operators monitor the performance of an engine and detect any potential issues that may arise, helping to prevent larger issues later on. Overall, this instrument is a crucial component in safeguarding the efficiency and longevity of both reciprocating and turboshaft engines.
