KYOWA TPS-A-5KNM Instruction Manual

TPS-A-5KNM
Thank you for purchasing TPS-A-5KNM Torque Transducer
(hereinafter referred to as the TPS-A). Before using it, please read
this Instruction Manual carefully. Also, keep the manual within
easy reach so that you can refer to it whenever necessary.
1. CALLING THE OPERATOR'S ATTENTION
Be sure to observe the accompanying precautions in order to
safeguard the operator and preserve the performance of the
instruments.
Improper operation of the system may
WARNING
result in injury of the operator and
physical damage of the system.
Describes reference information, such
CAUTION
as usage restrictions.

2. HANDLING

2.1 Preparation of shaft

The shaft is coated with preservative. Remove the preservative
from the TPS-A shaft by using organic solvent, etc. before
using the TPS-A. There may be a scratch on the shaft.
However, it has no effect on the specifications.

2.2 Installing TPS-A

Use a grooved coupling to joint the TPS-A shaft.
In addition, when the TPS-A is installed on a flat surface, due
to tolerance of using parts, slight space (0.2 mm or less) may
exists between the two surfaces. Note that the slight space has
no problem. Fix the TPS-A by referring 2.3.
With an eyebolt (M10), the TPS-A can be carried by using a
crane. To use a crane, remove the socket head cap screws with
low head, on the upper side of the TPS-A. Then mount the
eyebolt (M10) into the hole. Arrange the eyebolt (M10 by
yourself.
Screw holes for eyebolt M10: 2
WARNING
Provide protective coverings to the devices that are to revolve.
During operation, keep out of the devices, or the operator may
be caught in it.
Avoid such a manner as causing torque and bending moment
simultaneously to the axle of the TPS-A.

CAUTION
It is recommended to use the KYOWA specified coupling
(option, see "6. Specifications"). When you do not use the
KYOWA specified coupling, be sure to use a flexible coupling.
The coupling should mount within the max. permissible
misalignment.
The TPS-A construction resists against neither water nor
moisture. Therefore, do not use it in abnormally high humidity
environments or in vacuum or corrosive atmosphere.
Where vibration occurs on the driving device and/or the driven
device, provide cushioning axle.

2.3 Fixing TPS-A

For fixing the TPS-A, it is recommended to use the accessory
2 fixtures. For fixing the fixture, use the accessory hexagon
socket head cap screws (M4) and plain washers (nominal
diameter 4). Arrange the fixture and fixture-screws (M4,
length: 6) by yourself.
Example
① Connect the TPS-A axis and other axes by using a flexible
coupling.
② Match the TPS-A axis height and flexible coupling height by
using a shim and fix them. Measure the concentricity of axes by
using a dial gage.
