New Torque Sensor revolutionises machine control.
Sensor Technology will be launching their new
E400 Torqsense Rotary Torque Sensors at the
MTEC Exhibition.
The E400 units utilise a non-contact measurement technique,
so reduce the previously difficult task of accurate real-time
torque monitoring to the simple task of literally mounting the
transducer close to the machine drive shaft under investigation.
As such they stand to completely redefine the expectation of
machine builders and control engineers.
They feature integral electronics with digital and analog outputs
for torque, speed and power and are directly compatible with
PC Interfaces such as serial and USB, being user programmable
for analog signal levels.
Other innovative features include built-in peak torque sampling,
storage and torque averaging. They can operate from a wide
range of supply voltage.
To achieve the non-contact operation that makes the Torqsense
transducer range unique SAW (Surface Acoustic Waves)
devices are used as frequency dependent strain gauges to
measure the change in resonant frequency caused by strain
experienced in the drive shaft. This measurement is directly
related to the torque and opens up new horizons for advancing
all manner of machine control.
