What Does the ShaftMaster Measure?
Our innovative system captures and analyzes essential data, including:
-
Marine Shaft Horsepower – The true output of your vessel’s engine, measured directly at the shaft.
-
Shaft Torque – The force that drives your propeller, ensuring optimal load management.
-
Shaft RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) – Precise monitoring of engine speed.
-
Total Shaft Revolutions – Cumulative tracking of shaft activity for maintenance insights.
-
Horsepower Hours – Accurate measurement of engine power over time.
-
Engine Hours – Tracking total operational time for maintenance scheduling.
This robust system empowers vessel operators with reliable, real-time performance data, allowing for critical comparisons on an hourly, daily, or monthly basis.
Why Is a Torsionmeter Important?
Understanding your vessel’s true performance is impossible without precise measurements. The ShaftMaster System provides invaluable historical data triggered by set RPM points, giving operators the ability to:
-
Monitor performance trends over time.
-
Optimize fuel consumption.
-
Ensure proper maintenance scheduling.
-
Detect inefficiencies and address issues proactively.
At Hillhouse Industrial & Marine, we stand behind the ShaftMaster as the most reliable and accurate torsionmeter system available in the market today.
Why Your Vessel Needs the ShaftMaster System?
The Importance of Measuring True Horsepower
​
The only way to truly measure a vessel’s horsepower is at the shaft, using a torque meter. This data is crucial, particularly before and after servicing in a shipyard, to validate the effectiveness of repairs or upgrades.
Many marine operators invest heavily in sea trials to measure horsepower, often spending more than the cost of a permanent ShaftMaster System. By choosing ShaftMaster, you gain:
-
A one-time investment in continuous, real-time insights.
-
Reduced costs by avoiding repeated sea trial expenses.
-
Enhanced decision-making capabilities for vessel operations.
