Torque transducers

With its compact, bearingless, maintenance-free design, the new TF Torque Flange Sensor from Magtrol brings many appealing advantages to torque measurement applications. The TF’s high torsional rigidity supports direct mounting on the machine shaft or flange, avoiding the use of couplings on one side. This allows easy integration into a test system, shortens the overall length of the test bench and reduces costs. Based on strain-gauge technology, the TF Sensor’s precise telemetry system enables highly accurate signal transmission. A signal amplifier mounted in the measuring flange amplifies the measuring signal, modulates it to high frequency and transmits it inductively (via the HF transmitter) to the receiver. In the receiver, the digitized torque signal is transformed into an analog output signal of ±10 VDC. Rotational speed can be measured and converted to a TTL output signal with the optional speed pickup. more info www.magtrol.com

This torque sensor is qualified for static and dynamic measurements on non-rotary applications. Further the measurement of reaction torques on rotating machine parts is possible. Especially the torque sensors with flanges are preferred. They are mounted between motor and stator, e.g. in agitator drives. This enables a maintenancefree torque measurement. For individual measuring tasks the design of our torque sensors can be adapted to the customer’s installation conditions. More application examples: Test structures in the field of precision mechanics Determination of friction torques Acquisition of breakage moments on screw caps The design has been optimized regarding overall length, weight and volume, so that axial forces up to relatively high limit values and bending moments of up to 20 % of the measuring range have only a small effect to the influence of the measuring element.

Particularly suitable for small screwing tools 4 torque range from ± 0 - 0,5 Nm to ± 0 - 5 Nm digital output Square drive or hexagon drive No service needed because of contactless data acquisition High accuracy due to frequency modulation and strain gage technology reduced power consumption High noise immunity due to digital signal very compact design Automotive industry Test benches Assembly applications Pulsed tools

Workbench mounted Torque Transducer Crane’s stationary transducers are the quality choice for the testing of all continuous drive, impulse and hand torque tools in the workshop and production line-side environment. For best results with impulse tools we recommend the use of a Crane CheckStar rotary torque transducer with a suitable joint kit rather than a stationary transducer. Stationary transducers are used off the production line in workshop or line-side test stations. Combined with joint kits that represent the production joint condition, the stationary transducers form an effective off line test for verification of assembly tool performance. Key Features: - Static accuracy ± 0.25% FSD (bi-directional) - Plug and Play with Crane display systems (UTA) - Combine with joint kits for workshop simulation of hard to soft joints - Built-in workbench mounting flange - Rugged and durable construction, aluminium housing, stainless steel shaft - Ingress protection rating IP40.
