Agricultural Poultry Feeder

Application Summary

Agricultural poultry feeders are responsible for the equal distribution of feed throughout a poultry house. Agricultural engineers often implement rotary torque sensors to monitor the motors operating each feeder.

 

Products in Use

Rotary Torque Sensor (TRS Series) paired within Instrumentation (IPM650, IHH500, or USB Solutions).

Torque Sensor - Agricultural Poultry Feeder
How it Works
  1. FUTEK's TRS Series is an effective tool for motor testing/auditing, feedback control, monitoring torque, and analyzing the efficiency of various motor stands.
  2. In this application, the TRS Rotary Torque Sensor is coupled between an poultry feeder and motor.
  3. As the motor rotates, the TRS Sensor measures the torque produced by the motor.
  4. FUTEK developed certain models of the TRS Series with built-in encoders. These encoders are use to measure the angle/speed produced during each test.
  5. Torsion measurements can successfully be monitored on a digital display, such as FUTEK's IPM650 Panel Mount Display or IHH500 Intelligent Digital Hand Held Display, or streamed to a PC using FUTEK's USB Solutions.
  6. Applying FUTEK's SENSIT™ Test and Measurement Software to this test platform will allow the operator to live graph and data log the results.
