XtreMA 2.0 – the improved torque transducer

For the accuracy class of 0.01 and as a viable alternative for the T12, MANNER has developed the XtreMA 2.0. This is even more accurate, extremely overload resistant (factor 4), easy to handle and the flange pattern and installation dimensions are compatible with competitor flanges. We used to be highly accurate, now we are most accurate!

The demand for ever higher accuracy and reproducibility of measurement is becoming more and more frequent. The optimisation of machines, drive trains, gears, etc. is being pushed further and further. The potential for improvement is less than it was a few years ago. Nevertheless, the goal is to exploit the last ounce of potential through optimisation, comparable to a diamond cut.

In accordance with this development and requirement, we have made it our task to optimise the already accurate XtreMA and thus enable even more precise measurement results.

The special design makes a breakthrough in accuracy. We do not enter into a trade-off. Strength values and the influence of parasitic forces do not affect the measurement signal.

Due to the overload design of 400%, the torque sensor offers both the measurement of continuous loads and the short-term detection of load peaks in dynamic operation. Due to the special short design with the low rotor weight and the extremely low mass moment of inertia, nominal speeds of up to 30,000 min-1 can be achieved without any problems. Even higher speeds can be realised on request.

Optionally, the flanges can be operated in the extended temperature range of -40°C ... 160°C.

Another special feature is the electronic compensation of the zero point error Tk0 and the gradient error Tkc. This allows a constant high accuracy to be achieved, regardless of the ambient temperature.

In spite of this new technology on the rotating side, it remains with the proven different and also flexible stator configurations. The systems are fully compatible with the XtreMA generation already on the market.
