Wireless Torque, 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 10
ounce inch to ranges of 3 Million pound inch. 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. |
