Note: Important points to be considered. Intended Use Torque sensors are intended for the measurement of torques. This measurand is further suitable for control tasks.
Obere Schloßstr.131 ( 07172 / 93730-0 LORENZ MESSTECHNIK GmbH 73553 Alfdorf Fax 07172 /93730-22 Warning Notes Attention must be paid to the accident prevention regulations of the trade associations. Coverings and casings are necessary before operating the sensor. This is also valid for commissioning, maintenance and trouble shooting.

A single-jointed coupling can only balance axial and angular misalignments. In this installation case, double-jointed couplings can not be used for both sides!
Torque means clockwise or clockwise torque if the torque acts clockwise when facing the shaft end. In this case a positive electrical signal is obtained at the output. Torque sensors by Lorenz Messtechnik GmbH can measure both, clockwise and counter-clockwise direction.

Note: The frequency of torques must be smaller than the natural frequency of the mechanical measurement setup.
