IR Telemetrics is a global technology leader in providing wireless data transfer from internal reciprocating and rotating components, such as connecting rods. Our wireless measurement technology meets industry needs for compact, lightweight, and reliable wireless data transfer devices for use in harsh operating environments.
CONNECTING ROD TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
Connecting rod temperatures are challenging to measure, but our lightweight, durable temperature transmitters are routinely mounted to the rod and send multi-channel thermocouple data to a stationary receiver. By gaining the temperature distribution of a connecting rod, engineers can better predict the distortions and thermal stresses induced by operation
CONNECTING ROD OIL FLOW MEASUREMENT
Oil flow through connecting rods and crankshafts can be measured accurately using our proprietary oil flow transducer system. We install a small positive displacement transducer on oil passageways, along with our wireless telemetry systems to send data to our receivers.
Installing transmitters on the rod requires precision machining and wire routing from sensor locations to the transmitter. This is handled by our expert engineers and technicians, yielding a turn-key solution and guarantee of successful data transfer. Our real-time data flow from the connecting rod yields valuable insights as to how different engineering parameters vary from startup to steady state operation.
