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 &...
16-BIT TORKDISC ROTARY TORQUE SENSOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL 1.0 INTRODUCTION Stator/Antenna The TORKDISC is ideally designed to measure in-line rotating shaft torque and incorporates a unique digital telemetry system to transmit sensor excitation and output between the rotor and stator CW + portion of the system, Rotor...
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 –...
16-BIT TORKDISC ROTARY TORQUE SENSOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL 5.0 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION CAUTION 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 &...

16-BIT TORKDISC ROTARY TORQUE SENSOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL 3. Connecting drive shafts usually can be bolted directly to the TORKDISC through use of an adapter, without need for additional support, assuming that the resultant bending moment on the TORKDISC does not exceed the specified limit. Request specification sheets from PCB to determine the maximum permissible bending moment of a given TORKDISC...
16-BIT TORKDISC ROTARY TORQUE SENSOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL 5.2 Mating Adaptors 1. Mating adaptors MUST be hard and flat. The mating adaptors should be fabricated from SAE 4140 or 4340 and heat-treated to at least R 38 to 42. The diameter of the mating adaptors should not exceed the diameter of the rotating sensor element.
16-BIT TORKDISC ROTARY TORQUE SENSOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL 6.0 SYSTEM OPERATION After all of the telemetry components have been installed and connected, the system is ready for operation. To activate the telemetry system, simply press the switch located on the front panel of the receiver to the ON position (see Figure 3).
16-BIT TORKDISC ROTARY TORQUE SENSOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL 7.1 Analog Output – Voltage Sometimes users may wish to alter the factory calibration of the system. Offset and gain potentiometer adjustments are accessible on the rear of the receiver (see Figure 5). 1.
16-BIT TORKDISC ROTARY TORQUE SENSOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL 4. Adjust the V GAIN potentiometer to provide the desired frequency span corresponding to the shift caused by the shunt resistance. 5. Remove the shunt resistor from the bridge by pressing the SHUNT CALIBRATION switch (green indicator should extinguish), or the mechanical stimulus, and check the system zero adjustments.
16-BIT TORKDISC ROTARY TORQUE SENSOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL 9.0 CALIBRATION / REPAIR SERVICES PCB Load & Torque offers calibration and repair services. The PCB Calibration Laboratory in Farmington Hills, Michigan is A2LA Accredited per ISO/IEC 17025. Standard calibration certificates list five force points ascending and four points descending. Additional data points are available at extra cost upon request.
