MagCanica aerospace and defense torque sensor systems provide significant benefits as compared with conventional strain gauge based or phase shift/dual encoder torquemeter systems that have traditionally been used in the industry. MagCanica’s truly non-contact technology based on stress measurement enables a much shorter axial length and significant mass and footprint reduction, providing turboshaft engine and rotorcraft driveline designers with previously unavailable options for the mechanical layout. Additionally, MagCanica’s system provides significantly higher frequency response with significant benefits for the purposes of Health and Usage Monitoring (HUMS), Prognostics and Health Management (PHM), and Condition Based Maintenance (CBM), and Engine Health Management (EHM).
Key points regarding MagCanica’s A&D torque sensor systems include:
- Mil-Spec certified and in full production with US Navy hovercraft turboshaft engine torquemeter
- Flight tested multiple times on helicopter tail rotors, and in path towards production with major helicopter supplier
- Flight tested on a developmental helicopter program including closed-loop torque control for real-time maneuvers
- MagCanica’s torque sensor system can be applied to aircraft braking systems to achieve a significant mass reduction for fixed-wing aircraft landing gear.
Energy & Industrial
MagCanica energy sector and industrial torque sensor systems provide significant benefits as compared with conventional strain gauge based or phase shift/dual encoder torquemeter systems that have been traditionally used in these industries. MagCanica’s truly non-contact technology based on stress measurement enables a much shorter axial length and significant mass and footprint reduction, providing gas compression train, mobile fracking system, and power generation train designers with previously unavailable options for the mechanical layout.
