Wrist Pin Sensor

The IRT wrist pin sensor accurately measures the orientation of the interface of the piston wrist and the piston during engine operation. The complex dynamics of piston-wrist pin movement are recorded in realtime and transmitted out of the engine by IRT's microwave telemetry system to a datalogger. Engineers utilize measurements from this innovative system to better improve wrist pin design, leading to reduced engine weight, improved fuel economy and longer engine life. IRT's Wrist Pin Sensor is covered by patent pending status and interested parties can contact IR Telemetrics for an engineering review of their instrumentation needs.

Specifications

The system is available in multiple channel configurations. Minimum resolution is typically 3 to 5 kHz with a maximum of 40 kHz, allowing real time data acquisition of both steady state and transient parameters.
