Indikon Products and Technology - Customized Instrumentation

Torque Metering Systems Works with most available couplings on the market with minor modifications, eliminating the need for coupling redesign Reduced weight compared to other systems; minimal weight suspended by coupling due to strain gage technology Less sensitive to coupling guard deflections and there are no gear teeth to generate windage and heat inside the coupling guard Superior with respect to the effects on balance and natural frequency compared to other torque metering technologies Savings derived from increased machinery efficiency will generate a quick payback while providing insurance against failures in equipment being monitored read more...

Torque and "Real-Time" Alignment Systems Currently the only product on the market capable of supplying a misalignment indication while the machine is in operation and the shaft is rotating Measures actual shaft position, not case movement Provides live information on the state of the coupling, which is useful for condition monitoring and assists in the evaluation of the coupling and bearing loading Continuous monitoring of the equipment will enable operators to recognize performance deterioration, which will reduce efficiency or cause a catastrophic shutdown read more...

Eddy Current Proximity Probes Non-destructive sensor utilized for displacement/vibration measuring Effectively and accurately measures change in displacement down to .001" (1 mil) Unaffected by oil and dirt; reliable performance in harsh environments Used in conjunction with driver/transmitter and probe cable Applications include thermal expansion detection, sleeve/thrust bearing wear, rotating shaft vibration read more...

4-20mA Loop-Powered Transmitters/Drivers Converts displacement/vibration signal to DC voltage and/or current for DCS or PLC system Controls a 4-20mA current loop for a specified vibration range (ex. 0-5 mils peak-to-peak) Two-wire hook up that is powered solely by the loop current Power supply range of 15 to 36 volts Used in conjunction with Proximity Probes, Accelerometers, and Velocity Transducers read more...

Seismic Sensors (Transducers) Vibration transducer that incorporates a spring-mass system using eddy current damping, allowing resolutions down to the micro inch range Senses motion of machine casing relative to its inertial reference and converts to a proportional signal Independent upon temperature for performance and reliability Directly measures absolute displacement in the range of 3Hz to 1000Hz read more...

Vibration and Position Monitors Stand alone, compact, and rugged Capable of measuring vibration displacement (double amplitude) Capable of measuring vibration velocity (severity) Useful in providing an index of conditioning for rotating machinery Provides early detection of changes in vibration levels read more...

Web Deflection Detection Systems Measures crankshaft distortion due to bearing misalignment and enables corrective action prior to shaft or bearing failure Designed to work with WebMap2 software Portable, easy to use, reliable, and accurate method to monitor and analyze trends in crankshaft web deflection measurements Used on diesel engines, reciprocating compressors, locomotives, electrically driven gas compressors, water/sewage pumping engines Applications may be found in chemical plants, pipeline compressor stations, oil fields, gas gathering networks, aboard ships, and in offshore platforms read more...
