The Torque Sensor comprises of three items: Rotor, Stator, and Power Pack/Digital Readout & meets the requirements of relevant EU directives.
There are seven sizes of Torque Sensors, which are adaptable to suit most power transmission equipment where torque, power, speed or temperature needs to be constantly monitored. Sampling rates can be adjusted to provide a detailed analysis of an event. High & low control limits can be set such that whenever the limits are exceeded day, time and peak values can be stored and/or used as a signal to shut down the motor to protect equipment. The Torque Sensor is fully floating with no contact between rotor & stator. Signals from the rotor are transmitted by a capacitive transfer technique with electric power supplied by magnetic induction. A Digital Readout is provided from which measurements may be read directly. An additional analogue output is provided which can be customised according to the needs of end users withPLC and similarly based applications. The analogue output has compensation for speed related magnetic changes. The Torque Sensor is maintenance free, with power derived from the mains supply via a transformer, no batteries are required
The rotating component (Rotor), contains sets of strain gauges providing for forward and reverse operation without the need to change and with it being torsionally stiff it reduces the chance of erroneous signals and therefore giving better dynamic performance. The Rotorsare dynamically balanced to ISO.1940/1 : 1986 IDT grade G2.5 and fit between coupling & drive unit.
The stationary component (Stator) must be attached to a supporting structure via the integral mounting holes.The digital readout instrument connects by cable to the Stator. The readout instrument has a digital display. In addition a 0-10v analogue output is provided as standard. Alternatively a current analogue output can be provided. The readout instrument is powered from a mains input of 110 / 220 V AC (switchable).
