Important precautions during installation

Notice
A torque flange is a precision measuring element and therefore needs careful
handling. Dropping or knocking the transducer may cause permanent damage.
Make sure that the transducer cannot be overloaded, including while it is being
mounted.
S Handle the transducer with care.
S Check the effect of bending moments, critical rotational speeds and natural
torsional vibrations, to prevent the transducer being overloaded by reso­
nance sharpness.
S Make sure that the transducer cannot be overloaded.
WARNING
There is a danger of the transducer breaking if it is overloaded. This can cause
danger for the operating personnel of the system in which the transducer is
installed.
Implement appropriate safety measures to avoid overloads and to protect
against resulting dangers.
S Use a threadlocker (medium strength, e.g. LOCTITE) to glue the screws
into the counter thread to exclude prestressing loss due to screw slacken­
ing, in the event of alternating loads.
S Comply with the mounting dimensions to enable correct operation.
An appropriate shaft flange enables the T40B torque flange to be mounted
directly. It is also possible to mount a joint shaft or relevant compensating ele­
ment directly on the rotor (using an intermediate flange when required). Under
