| Abstract: | An optical torquemeter was designed, built, and operated over a range of shaft speeds from 6000 to 17,000 rpm and torque loads from 200 to 5500 inch-pounds. The precision and the accuracy of the instrument were experimentally determined by static calibration and dynamic operation. The effects of operating variables, such as torsion-shaft temperature and centrifugal force, are presented. On the basis of experimence with the optical torquemeter and with the strain-gage torquemeter, in the present form the strain-gage torquemeter is better suited to meet the needs to basic compressor and turbine research. |
