There are huge advantages of using a Torqatron;
- Actually measures torque not hydraulic line pressures
- Repeatable
- Easy for operator to use- only one gauge to monitor
- False readings obvious to operator as shows as an error on digital readout
- Accurate every time
- World best practice
The torqatron has huge advantages over other measurement systems. Issues with pressure transducer or a Bourden pressure gauge system include;
- Usually does not account for constantly changing return line pressures
- Hydraulic, internal or gearbox losses impact on reading
- False readings not obvious to operator
- Cheaper versions are impacted by vibrations generated by machine
- Limited life
