Shaft Power Meter Made Easy.
- The E2-iON shaft torque meter is a state-of-the-art strain gage based solution designed to provide torque, RPM, and power measurements on rotating shafts, without the need for shaft disassembly or modification.
- The system only includes two primary components and does not require a base mount. The innovative chain link design allows for fast lead times, simplified installation and easy interchangeability between shaft sizes.
- Electronics are encased in potting and protected by a strong metallic housing, ensuring reliable long-term operation in the most abusive environments.
Some features and benefits:
- Modular - The chain link design of the collar allows for easy change between shaft diameters. Chain links are quickly added or removed using standard hardware.
- Fast Lead times - Due to the chain link design of the collar, parts are stocked and ready to ship. No time-extensive machining required.
- No Base Mount Required - The stand-alone shaft "clamp-on" collar assembly requires no base mount. This eliminates the need for custom mounting brackets or on-site welding. The installation is dramatically simplified.
- High Accuracy - The use of a strain gage sensor and a 24-bit ADC ensure the most accurate measurements possible.
- Built in Gyro - Shaft speed is measured with internal gyro, eliminating need for more cabIe runs. Power is automatically calculated from torque and speed measurements.
- Onboard Intelligence - System status indicators confirm proper operation and aid in troubleshooting.
- Low Maintenance - Highly optimized electronics ensure minimal electricity consumption for the TX, with battery autonomy of two years . Sleep mode is also available when the shaft is not turning, extending the battery life even longer. Battery replacements take minutes.
- Product Support - Backed by E2's proven outstanding customer service, before and after the sale.

Marine shaft power meters (torque sensors/testers) find common applications in various areas within the marine industry. Some of the key applications include:
-
- Performance Evaluation: Marine shaft power meters play a crucial role in evaluating and verifying the performance of propulsion systems. By accurately measuring the actual horsepower at the shaft, these meters provide valuable data for assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of the engine and propeller combination.
- Compliance with Regulations and Certification: Shaft power (torsion) meters are used to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements and class certifications. They help ensure that vessels meet the necessary standards and regulations set by classification societies and governing bodies.
-
Troubleshooting Propulsion Systems: Marine shaft power meters are utilized to diagnose and troubleshoot propulsion problems. They are particularly helpful when a vessel, either newly built or retrofitted, fails to achieve its rated performance. These meters assist in characterizing the performance of the propulsion system and determining whether the issue lies with the propeller design or the engine's power generation.
-
Research and Development: These meters are also employed in research and development activities within the marine industry. They aid in collecting data, analyzing performance, and optimizing propulsion systems to enhance efficiency, reliability, and overall performance.
Overall, marine shaft power (torsion) meters have a wide range of applications that contribute to improving propulsion system performance, troubleshooting issues, ensuring compliance, and supporting research and development efforts in the marine industry.
