Torque transducer, no bearings
The model RS425 torque transducer utilises a strain gauged shaft for accurate and reliable torque measurement and a set of rotating on shaft conditioning electronics, the digital signals are transmitted to the non-rotating part of the system or stator providing a reliable and highly accurate torque measurement solution. The rotor is continuously powered enabling static torque measurement to be made. Not only does the RS425 Series offer great technical advantages but the range of torque sensors are competitively priced. The RS425 series torque transducer is not limited by bearings; therefore, it can be used at higher speeds, and places no bearings loads on to the shaft. The stator needs to be mounted in relation to the shaft within an operating envelope of +/- 3 to 5mm. The standard range can measure torque ranges from 0-10Nm up to 30kNm, the same modular elements have been applied to bespoke torque transducers for use down as low as 3Nm and up to 500kNm and above.
The sensor includes a signal conditioner with selectable analogue outputs for torque, speed and power of 0-10V, +/-10V, 4-20mA, 12+/-8mA. It also has digital data outputs through RS485 and over Wi-Fi to a smartphone app. You can even email a log or multiple logs to your PC with a single click of a button. A USB interface is included for connecting to PC software to configure and record data. The sensor package includes a 4 metres sensor cable and power supply adapter for plug and play use.
