IR Telemetrics was recently featured in the June 2023 Diesel Progress magazine.
For more than 30 years, IR Telemetries has helped product development teams around the world collect data from internal reciprocating and rotating components in harsh environments. In so doing, it has helped companies develop reliable jet engines, diesel engines, construction equipment, transmissions and more. These days, founder Glen Barna said the company is busier than ever thanks to work surrounding the use of alternative fuels such as natural gas,…
Torque Converter Testing Challenges
In the development of a torque converter, there are several engineering parameters on each of the internal components that must be understood: temperatures, fluid pressures, strains, and potential cavitation.
In torque converters, the stator, turbine, and clutch are rotating inside of the pump and cover, which is also rotating inside the transmission housing. This presents a big challenge to get data off each component using an inductively powered, wireless telemetry system. IR Telemetrics has…
