Datum Electronics - Model Auger Hawk -Helical Screw Pile Torque Sensor
The Datum Electronics Auger Hawk is a family of wireless torque monitoring systems designed for operators installing helical piers, screw piles, and ground screws. Built for challenging environments, Auger Hawk delivers real-time torque, thrust, and depth data directly to your mobile device, helping you efficiently verify load-bearing capacity, meet engineering specs, and guarantee compliance. With proven accuracy and straightforward installation, it’s the modern solution for confident, code-compliant foundation work.- Quick to install and remove on any piling rig
- IP65-rated for harsh environments and demanding conditions
- Wireless torque, thrust, RPM, and depth monitoring
- Accuracy better than ±0.25% – superior to hydraulic gauges
- Generates .CSV logs for QA, compliance, and client reporting
- Connects to iOS, Android, and Windows devices via free Datum Link app
- Available in many sizes for varied torque and thrust needs
- Logs GPS location, rotation count, and insertion angle
- Outputs both metric and imperial units (N·m / lb·ft)
In the past, a method of assessing the integrity of a helical screw pile was by estimating the hydraulic back pressure generated using visual hydraulic gauges and recording this data by hand. This process was both time and labor intensive and generally had very poor accuracy of between 10-30%.
The Auger Hawk has a much higher accuracy rating of ±0.25% with its data wirelessly transmitted effortlessly to the user's device via the Datum Link app. The data can also be emailed from within the apps and exported to other software including Microsoft Office programs, such as Excel, for easy analysis and storage.
The Auger Hawk is easy to introduce to any helical screw piling rig and allows for a far simpler, more accurate, efficient and reliable method of installation giving a greater sense of confidence in any deep foundation piles being installed.
