    Torque sensor Model 8625 4. Installation 4.1 Mechanical installation Caution! Damage from excessive torques, bending moments or axial forces. Support the sensor while it is being fitted. Avoid dropping the sensor. Make electrical connections to sensor during fitting. Check the measurement signal.
  • Page 16: Couplings

    Model 8625 Torque sensor 4.1.2 Couplings For the 8625 series torque sensors use couplings that can correct an axial, radial and angular misalignment of the shafts. These couplings must protect the sensor from large forces. Alignment options using half couplings Figure 5: Half coupling Figure 6: angular misalignment Figure 7: axial misalignment...

  • Page 18: Shaft Connection: General Information

    Model 8625 Torque sensor 4.1.3 Shaft connection: general information Before installation, clean the shafts using a solvent such as acetone. There must be no foreign matter on the shafts when fitted. Provide a collar with the correct fit for the connection. If you are using clamping elements for connecting the shafts: Only use clamping elements that provide reliable transmission of the torques that arise.

    Model 8625 Torque sensor 4.1.5 Shaft connection: sensors with 0.05 Nm to 10 Nm ranges Note: The sensors are very sensitive to overload. Handle these sensors with the necessary care. Connect up the sensor electrically. Check the signal output from the sensor throughout fitting. This signal must always remain within the permitted range.

  • Page 25: Cable

    Torque sensor Model 8625 4.2.2 Cable Always use shielded cable with as low a capacitance as possible. burster can supply cables that have been tested with our sensors and satisfy instrumentation requirements. Relationship between sensitivity and cable length Note: With extension cables, the sensor sensitivity is affected by the cable length as a function of the bridge resistance and the conductor cross-section.
  • Page 26: Positioning The Measurement Cable

    Model 8625 Torque sensor 4.2.4 Positioning the measurement cable Place the cable far enough away from high-power equipment. These include transformers, motors, contactors, frequency converters and so forth. Otherwise the electromagnetic fields from such equipment will act with their full effect on the measuring chain, causing incorrect measurements.

    Torque sensor Model 8625 5. Calibration The torque sensors from burster präzisionmesstechnik are already traceably adjusted and tested in the factory. As an option we offer manufacturer calibration of the sensor. 5.1 Manufacturer calibration The manufacturer calibration involves checking sensor data against traceably calibrated measuring instruments.

    Torque sensor Model 8625 6. Measurement 6.1 Switching on Let the sensor warm up for about 5 minutes. 6.2 Torque direction A torque is designated a clockwise torque if the torque acts in a clockwise direction when looking towards the shaft end. In this case you obtain a positive electrical signal at the sensor output. Wellenende Shaft end Figure 23: Torque (looking towards the drive end)
  • Page 30: Dynamic Torques

    Model 8625 Torque sensor 6.4 Dynamic torques Caution! Operating the setup close to the natural resonance results in permanent damage. The frequency of torques must lie below the natural frequency of the mechanical test setup. Limit the peak-to-peak torque variation to 70 % of the rated torque. The calibration applies to measurements of both static and dynamic torques.
