Quick Stem Sensor

Quick Stem Sensor (QSS) is an alternative means by which to measure thrust and torque on motor-operated and air-operated valves. The QSS is a pre-fabricated thrust and torque strain bridge that is applied to a shaft in much the same way as a strain gage.

This time-saving device was developed to reduce the time and effort required to install strain gages in a radioactive environment. Since its introduction in nuclear plants, the patented QSS has become popular in many other industries and applications where gaging time and cost is a concern.
