GYROTORK DUAL version INTRODUCTION TO THE GYROTORK Thank you for choosing the GYROTORK gauge manufactured by ANDILOG Technologies. This torque gauge is the result of 25 years experience in torque and torque measurement with new electronic technologies offering a higher-performance and more reliable instrument.
The display can be affixed to a test stand via two M5 or two 10-32 screws, which should not extend through the back cover more than 3 mm. Please contact ANDILOG Technologies if you need more information or if you need a fixture to mount your torque gauge to a test stand.
External sensors are linked to GYROTORK Gauge through a special connector called SPIP. • For a GYROTORK Dual, both sensors (internal and external) are simultaneously scrutinized The following information regarding the sensor is displayed: • V1 for internal or V2 for external.
