Datum Electronics - Model SPMK -Shaft Power Measurement Kit
The Datum Electronics Shaft Power Measurement Kit (SPMK) provide a compact, non-intrusive solution for real-time measurement of torque, RPM, and power on rotating shafts. Designed for short-term trials and long-term diagnostics, it’s ideal for marine, automotive, and industrial applications.Compact version, ideal for single day trials, to access power levels and torque characteristics such as start-up or maximum torque levels.
Designed to be easily fitted with a minimal of on-site operations. The strain gauges used are supplied with the connector to remove the need for soldering and have an encapsulated coating to simplify environmental sealing.
The system provides an output of shaft torque, shaft rpm and shaft power. The instrumentation has an accuracy of 0.1%
Each Kit is supplied with a simple to use PC utility to display and log the data and optional interface is available to provide 4-20mA or +/-10vdc for logging and control systems.
- Shaft Sizes 30-500mm
- Battery Life up to 15 hours
- Single Channel
- Shaft Speed Sensor
- PC Software
The Following Data Can be Measured and Analysed:

The main advantage of the Series 430 shaft power and torque trials kit is how easy the instrumentation is to install, set up, test and operate. The trials kit consists of three main component elements making this trials application system as easy and simple and possible.
We also have a commercial ship shaft power meter system, developed to meet the requirements of marine industry customers, is used on vessel propeller shafts to measure ship performance data any time including shaft horsepower, torque, and RPM and compare historical data on an hourly, daily, monthly or annual basis. The system is modular, has a flexible shaft fit and can be installed with a minimal disruption to the ship system.
By providing continuous power output measurements, as well as aiding fuel economy and equipment maintenance planning. Robust, permanent, modular and simple to install, the commercial marine shaft power meter accurately monitors the efficiency and performance of the ship’s transmission systems, leading to large savings on running costs.
