ATi's FlexPlate Torque Sensing Systems permit in-vehicle Engine Output torque measurements. A customer-supplied flex-plate is converted into a rotating torque sensor. Custom stainless steel sensors also available to mate directly with engine and transmission components. The flexplate is instrumented for an accurate and dependable torque measurement, independent of thrust loading, temperature or other environmental factors. Virtually no vehicle modifications are required.

ATi's Torque Converter Systems allow in-vehicle measurement of temperature, pressure or other criteria. Sytems are designed to fit within existing space constraints and minimize modifications to the vehicle.

Highly reliable and durable. RF Telemetry is used for data transfer while Induction Power is used for power transfer to the rotating sensor. These technologies permit excessive movement between the rotating sensor and stationary loop antenna with no affect on the signal quality minimal alignment between the stationary and rotating components is required.

Immune to the Environment. The RF Telemetry and Induction Power are also immune to dust and oil build-up, unlike Infrared Torque Sensors which are sensitive to not only dirt build-up but shaft movements as well. The sensing element is designed to be immune to thrust loading which occurs when the torque converter heats up. All components are designed to withstand the harshest shock and vibration conditions in addition to 140 degrees C operation. ATi was the first in the industry to successfully measure Indy Car engine output torque in-vehicle, using the same technology.

FEATURES
  • Minimal Modifications - Using your stock components, we can make a system to fit your space requirements.
  • Truly Non-Contact - Telemetry Data Link and Inductive Power.
  • High Speed Operation - Designed to withstand extreme testing conditions at up to 10,000 RPM.
  • Reliable, Accurate and Repeatable - Immune to thrust loading from torque converter.
  • Available for any size Flexplate - Most any torque range available.
  • Eliminates Frictional Error due to Bearings.
  • No Slip Ring Noise or Maintenance.
  • High Torsional Stiffness.
  • Long Life - No Maintenance.


  • SYSTEM COMPONENTS

    • Induction Power Supply: The Model 2030i IPS delivers power through a stationary loop antenna to an antenna embedded in the collar. This power transfer provides long term, uninterrupted measurements with no batteries.


    • Durability: Sensor's electronics, gages and wiring are all embedded; sealed and protected by stainless steel covers


    • Capacity: Most any Torque capacity avaialble.


    • Remote Calibration (optional): The RC Option enables the user to actuate a positive or negative shunt calibration from the Receiver. The shunt calibration resistor is located on the Transmitter.
