Magtrol’s new TF Series torque flange sensor is designed to measure the torque of transmissions, powertrains, wind generators, gas turbines and boat engines. It can also be used in general combustion engines as well as in electric motor and gearbox test benches.
According to Magtrol: ‘Another benefit of this complete torque measurement system is its insusceptibility to signal interference. This benefit results from the fact that the TF Sensor’s antenna, unlike antennae in its competitors’ designs, does not need to be looped around the sensor. Additionally, a protective cover can be mounted close to the sensor with no effect on the signal, unlike in other systems that have loop antennae.’
Other claimed advantages of the TF Sensor include: direct mounting capability, highly accurate signal transmission and excellent noise immunity.
Magtrol offers software and torque transducer displays as options that enhance the capabilities of the TF sensor. Integrated speed pickup and high temperature capability are also optional.
The sensors have a torque range of 50 to 50,000Nm, an accuracy of 0.1 to 0.25 per cent, an overall load capacity of 200 per cent, and an overload limit of 400 per cent.
