Compact torque sensors suit many applications
Piezoelectric reaction torque sensors, having high sensitivity, extremely rigid construction and compactness, can be adapted very easily and flexibly to suit a wide variety of installations.
The sensors are suitable for nominal speeds from 7,000 rpm to 12,000 rpm depending on the measuring range.
The dynamic range is 1kHz with 3kHz available as an option.
Output signal is +/-5 VDC electrically isolated from supply and measuring signal and the power supply required is 11 to 26 VDC.
A choice of input and output shaft couplings and an angular position output signal (one pulse per degree) may be specified.
The Mini-Smart torque sensor with rotating measuring shaft is suitable both for dynamic detection of starting torque, breakaway torque for bolt or screwdriver operations and quality assurance monitoring in production and laboratory.
