16-BIT TORKDISC ROTARY TORQUE SENSOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL GENERAL GUIDELINES Operators should read this manual and become thoroughly familiar with its contents before attempting to operate the 16-bit TORKDISC rotary torque sensor system. Following the safety considerations and operation instructions outlined in this manual will minimize the possibility of accidents or injury. Although the procedures covered in this manual have proven safe in use, PCB Load &...
The operator should be protected from rotating parts by using safety shield guards. When in doubt about speed ratings or torque capacity, consult the Load & Torque Division of PCB Piezotronics. 3.0 OVERVIEW The TORKDISC®...
16-BIT TORKDISC ROTARY TORQUE SENSOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL 3.3 Theory of Operation The TORKDISC® system utilizes a unique digital data transmission technique. A radio frequency signal generated within the receiver box is inductively coupled from the pick-up antenna to the transmitting antenna and rectified to provide DC voltages to operate the rotating TORKDISC®...
16-BIT TORKDISC ROTARY TORQUE SENSOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL 4.0 ELECTRICAL OPERATION ATTENTION The standard TORKDISC system is supplied with a 24 foot long coaxial cable designed to transmit signals from the antenna assembly to the receiver box. This length is critical to proper operation of the TORKDISC system. DO NOT SHORTEN IT.
16-BIT TORKDISC ROTARY TORQUE SENSOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL 4.3 Receiver Box – I/O Connector Pinouts The outputs of the torque sensor are provided on the back of the receiver via the DB-25 connector labeled “I/O” (see Figure 4). Table 4 defines the signals and pinouts of the connector. Table 4 –...
16-BIT TORKDISC ROTARY TORQUE SENSOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL 4.4 Receiver Box – Adjustment Controls ATTENTION Manipulating the output adjustment controls will affect the measurement readings and should only be performed by trained personnel. Contact the factory with any questions or concerns about these controls and settings prior to adjusting.
16-BIT TORKDISC ROTARY TORQUE SENSOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL 4.4.1 System Gain Range ATTENTION The System Gain Range is set at the factory for optimum performance of the TORKDISC system. Adjusting the switch settings may have adverse effects on the measurement values. This setting is not recommended for user adjustment.
16-BIT TORKDISC ROTARY TORQUE SENSOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL 4.4.2 Zero/Additional Offset Table 7 describes the Zero/Additional Offset switch settings. ATTENTION Placing both switches 2 and 3 of the Zero/Additional Offset switch to the ON position will null each other and provide no added offset.
16-BIT TORKDISC ROTARY TORQUE SENSOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL 4.4.4 Low & High Pass Filters Figure 6 shows the signal path on both the AC and DC voltage outputs and how they are influenced by the filter and gain settings. Figure 6 – Signal Path to I/O Connector 4.4.4.1 Low Pass Filter Figure 7 shows low pass filter plots of the transmitter only, receiver only, and the composite of transmitter and receiver combined.
16-BIT TORKDISC ROTARY TORQUE SENSOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL 4.4.4.2 Composite Low Pass Filter Figure 8 compares low pass filter plots for both the voltage output per pins 13 & 25 and the AC outputs per pins 12 & 24 on the DB-25 I/O connector. NOTE: The low pass filter switch controls the low pass filtering for both the DC and AC coupled outputs.
16-BIT TORKDISC ROTARY TORQUE SENSOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL 4.4.4.3 Composite High Pass Filter Figure 9 compares high pass filter plots for the AC output for pins 12 & 24 on the DB-25 I/O connector. Figure 9 – Composite High Pass Filter Plots for the AC Output Table 11 lists the available cut-off frequency settings for the high pass filter switches as shown in Figure Table 11 –...
Proper mechanical installation of the TORKDISC rotary torque sensor system is critical to ensure proper operation and long-term life. Read this entire section before installing the system. When in doubt about application, consult the Load & Torque Division of PCB Piezotronics prior to proceeding. CAUTION This wireless data acquisition system contains delicate electronic components that must be protected from excessive shock and prolonged exposure to water, oil, or other chemical contaminants.
