Warranty Introduction Please contact us if you need help, if you have a complaint, or if you have suggestions to help us improve our products or services. We warrant this product against defects in materials or workmanship for a period of 12 months (1) year from the date of purchase despatch.
Warnings What is it designed to do? The latest technology Datum Electronics Series M425 non-contact rotary Torque Please carefully read this manual and all warnings. Install the system ONLY when you are sure that you’ve covered all aspects. Transducers have been designed to fit with most applications and solutions requiring rotary torque measurement. The Torque Transducer fits in line with the drive train or test Please ensure that ALL pre-requisites have been actioned prior to attempting installation of this hardware. bed, using standard keyway shafts.
What's in the Box System Advantages • Accuracy and resolution options • High data rate Datum Connect Interface (DCI) • Static and rotary torque measurement • Operational stability • Non-contact data transmission DCI Power • Magnetic speed sensor - not effected by dirt Supply •...
At this level the shaft will be well beyond its design limits and may couplings in the drive line. If misalignment is very likely consider the Datum Electronics RS and FF ranges mechanically fail. If you have loaded a Transducer above the Proof Load/Overload level it should be which are bearing-less transducers.
Which way round to mount? Anti-rotation point The M425 Transducer will operate in both a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. The M425 Transducers have an anti-rotation anchor point on the underside of their casing. This is to be used to secure the static body of the Transducer and prevent rotation during operation. The M425 Transducer is calibrated to give a positive output for clockwise torque and a negative output for counter clockwise torque. The M425 Transducer will also output torque data while static. Pass a strong cable or tie through the hole in the anti-rotation anchor point and secure the tie to a solid structure on the test rig, ensuring the tie has clearance from the rotating drive shaft and moving parts to avoid snagging.
If the shaft of the Transducer is bent the balance of the Transducer will be disturbed, and the bearing life will be greatly reduced. Excessive load or mounting misalignment will also effect the life of the bearings. Bearings can be service by return to Datum Electronics. Outputs provided...

STEP files A STEP file is a widely adopted CAD file format used to share 3D models between users with different CAD systems. Torque The twisting force on the shaft created by the driving force (motor) and the resisting force (brake or gear). Transducer A transducer is defined as a device that converts one form of energy to another.
