Sensors Measure Reaction Torque

June 23rd, 2006

The Series 2300 and 2500 are strain-gage reaction torque sensors for torque measurements on accessories such as starters, alternators, and air conditioning compressors. They feature high torsional stiffness, flange mounting, and are available in full-scale capacities from 5 to 500 k in-lb (0.56 to 56.5 k N-m). Applications include testing of brake torque, bearing friction small motor dynamometers, pumps, stepping switch torque, and fluid viscosity.

Units are supplied with a shunt calibration resistor. Calibration is traceable to NIST and is performed in PCB’s metrology laboratory, which is ISO 17025 accredited by A2LA. For additional information, contact the Force/Torque Division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc. at 888-684-0004, 716-684-0001, force@pcb.com, or www.pcb.com.

============================

The 01294 motor flange torque sensor is designed to measure the reaction torque on the motor housing, without the need to integrate an in-line rotating torque sensor. This eliminates the potential of electrical noise due to bearings or slip-ring brushes, and allows for long term installation and monitoring. This custom sensor can be adapted to a wide range of applications and motor face styles. Torque capacities can be designed to meet your requirements and typically range from 100in-lbs 10,000in-lbs (11N-m to 1100Nm). For more information, visit the Sensor Developments website.
