High Capacity Torque Transducer Transmits Signals Via Digital Telemetry
April 1, 2003, Depew, NY - The Force/Torque Division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc., announces the release of a new series to the Torkdisc® family of low profile, high-stiffness, rotary torque transducers. Series 5310 offers the same advantages as all other Torkdisc® models which utilize rugged, strain-gage sensing technology and wireless, digital, signal telemetry to transmit measurement signals to an adjacent receiver. Additional features include compact design, high stiffness, low weight, low rotating inertia, RF interference immunity, and low sensitivity to extraneous loads. Either voltage or current outputs are available.
The Series 5310 sensors are offered in a choice of capacities from 150,000 to 225,000 in-lb FS and a speed rating up to 6000 rpm. Applications include large electric motor development and testing, locomotive and ship diesel engine development and testing, gear box development and testing, torque monitoring on turbine engines used for power generation, and torque monitoring on mining pumps. All units are calibrated with NIST traceability in an A2LA accredited laboratory.
