T10FH Prevention of accidents According to prevailing accident prevention regulations, after fitting the T10FH torque flange a cover must be fitted as follows: • The cover must not be able rotate. • The cover shall protect against crushing or cutting and provide protection against parts that might come loose.
PTB calibration certificate in accordance with DIN 51 309 or EA 10/14: Class 0.5 Application The T10FH torque flange records static and dynamic torque on fixed or rotat ing shafts and also return RS422 signals with direction of rotation information to determine the speed.
T10FH Structure and mode of operation The torque flange (Option 2, code N) consists of two separate parts: the rotor and the stator. The rotor comprises the measuring body and the signal transmission ele ments. Strain gages (SGs) are mounted on the measuring body. The rotor electronics for transmitting the excitation voltage and the measurement signal are located centrally in the flange.
(medium strength) to exclude prestressing loss due to screw slackening. An appropriate shaft flange enables the T10FH torque flange to be mounted directly. It is also possible to directly mount a joint shaft or relevant compen sating elements on the opposite flange (using an intermediate flange when re quired).
T10FH 4.1 Conditions on site The T10FH torque flange is protected to IP54 according to EN 60529. Protect the transducer from coarse dirt, dust, oil, solvents and moisture. During opera tion, the prevailing safety regulations for the security of personnel must be ob served (see "Safety Instructions").

1. Remove the top layer of foam packaging. Fig. 4.1: T10FH packaging 2. Fasten two equal−length ropes of sufficient bearing strength to the eye bolts (each of the two ropes must be able to bear the full weight of the ro tor) and hoist the rotor out of its packaging with the crane (see Fig.

Carefully tilt the rotor by lowering it over the flange edge until it rests hori zontally on both outer flange surfaces (see Fig.

T10FH 4.5 Mounting the rotor NOTE In general, the rotor identification plate is no longer visible after installa tion. This is why we include with the rotor additional stickers with the important ratings, which you can attach to the stator or any other rele vant test−bench components.

T10FH WARNING With alternating load: Use a screw locking device (e.g. LOCTITE no. 242) to cement the screws into the mating thread to exclude prestressing loss due to screw slackening. 3. Tighten all screws with the specified tightening torque (Tab. 4.1).
T10FH 4.6 Installing the stator On delivery, the stator has already been fitted ready for operation. The an tenna segments have to be separated for installation. To stop you modifying the center alignment of the segment rings opposite the base of the stator, we recommend that you separate only one antenna segment from the stator.
Page 22
T10FH 4. Align the antenna and rotor so that the antenna encloses the rotor coaxi ally. Please observe the permissible alignment tolerances stated in the specifications. 5. Now fully tighten the screw fitting of the stator housing. 6. Make sure that the gap in the lower antenna segment area is free of electrically conductive foreign bodies.
T10FH 4.7 Installing the clamp fixture Depending on the operating conditions, the antenna ring may be excited to vi brate. This effect is dependent on • the speed • the antenna diameter (depends in turn on the measuring range) • the design of the machine base To avoid vibrations, a clamp fixture is enclosed with the torque flange enabling the antenna ring to be supported.
T10FH Support supplied by customer Clamp fixture Antenna ring Fig. 4.8: Supporting the antenna ring 4.8 Aligning the stator (speed measuring system) The stator can be mounted in any position (for example, "upside down" instal lation is possible). For measuring mode to operate perfectly, the speed sensor must be placed at a defined position to the rotor ring gear.

The radial distance is critical for the radial align ment (see Fig.
Avoid transformers, motors, contactors, thyristor controls and similar stray− field sources. CAUTION Transducer connection cables from HBM with attached connectors are identified in accordance with their intended purpose (Md or n). When cables are shortened, inserted into cable ducts or installed in control cabinets, this identification can get lost or become concealed.
Option 3, SU2 torque transducers are only intended for operation with a DC supply voltage (separated extra−low voltage). They must not be con nected to older HBM amplifiers with square−wave excitation. This could lead to the destruction of the connection board, or other errors in the amplifiers (the torque flange, on the other hand, is protected and once the proper connections have been re−established, is ready for operation...

T10FH Shunt signal (Option 3, Code SU2) The T10FH torque flange delivers a shunt signal that can be switched at the amplifier end for measurement chains with HBM components. The measure ment flange generates a shunt signal of about 50% of the nominal (rated) torque.
T10FH Settings (Option 3, Code SU2) 8.1 Torque output signal The factory setting for the frequency output voltage is 5 V (symmetrical, com plementary RS422 signals). The frequency signal is on pin 4 opposite pin 1. You can change the output voltage to 12 V (asymmetrical). To do this, change switches S1 and S2 to position 1 (and pin 1 →...
