Rotary Torque and Reaction Torque Sensing at
Honeywell Sensotec
Sensotec's
Torque Sensors feature both Reaction
(non-rotation) and Rotary Torque Sensors that
utilize Bonded Strain gauge Technology. The New
Rotary Torque capability offers both in-line
mounting configurations and clamp-on sensors
that cover the ranges of +/- 100 inch pounds to
24,000 inch pounds, and shaft diameters from 3.5
inches up to 32 inches. These Rotary Torque
Sensors are capable of sensing torque over
rotational speeds from zero rpm to 15,000 rpm.
The Sensotec Rotary Torque Sensors are
non-contact and do not use support bearings or
slip rings. The torque signal from the strain
gauge sensors is rf coupled to a loop antenna.
An rf receiver converts the signal to 0 +/- 5vdc
output.
The Reaction
Torque Sensors offer torque measurements from 0
+/- 25 inch-ounces to ranges of 0 +/- 24,000
inch-pounds. A vareity of mounting
configurations are offered including: Shaft to
Shaft, Flange to Flange, and Shaft to Flange on
the low range models. All of Sensotecs Torque
Sensors are machined from stainless steel and
temperature hardened for low torsional
deflection as well as temperature compensated
for long-term stability. Applications include
automotive braking, engine and transmission
dynamometers, torque table, fastener testing,
aircraft engine testing, and marine shaft torque
measurements with shaft horsepower monitors. |
