Applications Page / Marine Operators realise that increasing demands for close monitoring of a ship’s performance and running costs requires accurate and reliable measurement of torque at the propeller shaft. Torque measurement is used as an engineering tool to measure power, vibration levels and balance engine outputs. The IML marine torque-meter can be found on numerous sizes of vessel from lifeboats to tankers, including the odd 100-foot luxury cruiser!
