Benefits of MDI Technology

Intrinsically Robust

The system can operate in harsh environments such as oily, gritty, and dirty, which exceeds that of the bearings that would be found in the same area.

Vibration Tolerant

The system will make measurements in applications that experience high vibration.

Reduce Recalibration Costs

This technology does not require recalibration.

Low Power

The total power requirements are typically less than 20mA at 5V for operation.

Lightweight

The total weight, less the actual shaft, is only ounces.

Great Price vs. Accuracy Ratio

The total installed system and maintenance costs are very low while the measurement is very accurate.

Critical Repeatability

The system continues to make the same measurement without the drift that is typically caused by environmental influences.

Linear Measurement

The system signal is linear from 0 to 100% of measurement, which is not available in other torque measurement devices.

Temperature Tolerant

The system will retain its integrity over wide high/low temperature variations.

Speed of Measurement

The system can operate at 100kHz sensing stress transmission through the shaft.

Durability

MDI's technology outlasts previously used technologies. The life of the sensor is longer than the life of the mechanical system. The technology can be designed to meet intrinsically safe requirements and can be applied to stationary or rapidly rotating applications equally well.
