The continual optimisation of the dynamic load analysis of con rods is of special interest to our customers in the large scale motor sector. No wonder, when one considers the magnitude of the extreme tension/compression alternating loads the con rod is subjected to at these dimensions. The mass, dimensions, inherent stability, con rod bolts, hardening and tempering of the steel/alloy and the dimensioning of individual points along the con rod are of decisive importance.

For many years, Manner has been providing customers with professional support for the measurement of forces at all points on the con rod. Through the continual development of con rod telemetry, the measurement of a wide range of partial loads is constantly optimised. The most important aspects include:
