BRG62050A Contactless Torque Sensor

Description

 

The compact contactless torque sensor, built on advanced strain gauge technology, is designed for high-speed, small-scale torque measurement. It outputs a 5-15kHz frequency signal or a 4-20mA current signal, ideal for long-distance transmission. With its small size, easy installation, and strong anti-interference capability, it’s an excellent alternative to imported torque sensors.

Our advantage of Contactless Torque Sensor

 

Non-Contact Measurement

As the name implies, these sensors measure torque without any physical contact between the sensor and the rotating shaft. This eliminates wear, friction, and the need for shaft modifications like tapped holes or flats

Wide Torque Range

Contactless torque sensors are available with full-scale torque ranges from as low as 0.02 Nm to as high as 20,000 Nm, making them suitable for a broad range of applications from small servomotors to large industrial machinery

Bidirectional Measurement

They can measure torque in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, enabling measurement of dynamic torque reversals

Analog Output Signals

Contactless torque sensors typically provide analog output signals, such as ±5V or ±10V, proportional to the measured torque. This allows for easy integration with existing control systems and data acquisition equipment

Static and Dynamic Measurement

While primarily designed for dynamic torque measurement on rotating shafts, some contactless torque sensors can also measure static torque when the shaft is stationary.

Compact and Lightweight Design

The non-contact operating principle allows for a compact and lightweight sensor design, facilitating easy installation and minimizing the impact on system dynamics.

High Durability

With no physical contact or wear components, contactless torque sensors offer high durability and long service life, even in harsh industrial environments

Optional High-Level Output

Some contactless torque sensors provide optional high-level output signals, such as digital or fieldbus interfaces, for seamless integration with modern control systems.

Tips for use

1. In cases of bending moments, the torque sensor and equipment base should be flexibly mounted to allow for movement.

2. If vibration occurs, the power supply and load equipment must be securely fastened.

3. Ensure proper electrical connections are made according to the specifications.

4. If any issues arise during use, please contact us promptly for assistance.

 

Installation Steps

1. Mounting Location: Choose a location that minimizes vibration and allows for proper alignment with the driveline. Install the sensor as close to a bearing as possible to reduce the risk of critical speed issues.

 

2. Use Proper Couplings: Install couplings at both ends of the torque sensor. Depending on the application, you can choose between floating or fixed installations. Floating installations may require half couplings, while fixed installations should use full couplings for better stability and measurement accuracy.

 

3. Align the Sensor: Proper alignment is crucial. Use alignment tools to ensure that the sensor and the connected shafts are aligned correctly. Misalignment can lead to inaccurate readings and sensor damage.

 

4. Balancing: Check if the torque sensor is balanced at the factory. Balance the entire driveline after installation to prevent vibrations that could affect measurement accuracy.

 

5. Secure Bolts: Use the recommended bolts as specified in the manual and tighten them according to the torque sensor’s capacity. This ensures that the sensor is securely mounted and can handle operational stresses.

 

6. Check Air Gap: Maintain the proper air gap between the rotor and stator, typically around 2 mm on each side, to ensure optimal performance.

 

7. Testing: After installation, conduct a test run at low speeds to check for consistent torque readings. Any significant fluctuations may indicate misalignment or installation issues that need to be addressed
