The "Allround" torque transducer T40 – Now with rated torques of 200 N•m to 10 kN•m

HBM: The torque flange T40 from HBM, the allrounder for measuring torque, even under difficult ambient conditions, is now available with a new rated measuring range from 200 N•m onwards.

This means that rated torques of 200 N•m, 500 N•m, 1 kN•m, 2 kN•m, 3 kN•m, 5 kN•m and 10kN•m are now available.

The electrical configuration is identical throughout the series. This allows the torque transducer to be used without great modifications for various applications - from friction performance measurements, applications for engine or gear test benches to chassis test benches.

Numerous torque measurement applications in test benches and in process monitoring can be completely covered with this complete series. Due to the compact design, the torque flange can be very easily integrated into a test bench and is insensitive to parasitic loads. This enables direct mounting of machine elements - additional joint shafts or couplings are not necessary.

The T40 does not use slip rings or bearings and is therefore totally maintenance and wear-free. The reliability of the measurement flange is very high because of the robust design, leading to reduced test bench downtimes and therefore cost savings. Data transmission be-tween rotor and stator is digital so that secure and error-free measured value acquisition and transmission is possible even under difficult ambient conditions.

The measured torque can be output either via a voltage output or a frequency output. Con-nection with Ethernet TCP/IP and integration in the field bus interface world, e.g. CAN-Bus or Profibus DP, is also possible with the torque interface module TIM40, which is available as an accessory.

Typical application areas for the torque flange can be found mainly in friction performance measurements, and in the automotive industry for engine, gear or chassis test benches.

The T40 can also be used in the testing of electric motors, pumps and generators.
