ABSTRACT
The act of measuring the torque produced by a
given machinery, or engine in operation is an important segment related to the
production, maintenance and use of mechanical equipment. With the evolution of
technology and the constant concern to create more modern engines that have an
improved mechanical performance, the need to make measurements of the various
parameters related to their operation was created, constant torque measurement
is one of these parameters. The combination of this parameter with the
measurement of the rotation speed allows instantaneous mechanical power to be
calculated, enabling lower fuel consumption, greater operational safety,
greater reliability and a lower emission rate. With the increasing use of
modern machines in aquatic environments, whether in the oil segment or in the
aquatic vehicle segment, this need for monitoring also expands to this
environment. The development of the torque measurement technique in submerged
environment using the Hall effect in addition to allowing readings in submerged
environments has the benefit of being noninvasive.
