The T12 digital torque transducer from HBM measures torque, rotational speed and angle, power and temperature with maximum precision with nominal (rated) measuring ranges of 5kNm and 10kNm. This complements the existing T12 torque transducer range with nominal (rated) torques of 500Nm, 1kNm, 2kN,·and 3kNm. The T12 can be used up to a nominal (rated) rotational speed of 16,000 rpm depending on the measuring range.
The unit provides immediate measurement results and has wide ranging interconnectivity through CANopen and Profibus DPV1fieldbus systems to PLC automation systems. With a frequency output ranging from 10 kHz ± 5 kHz to 60 kHz ± 30 kHz and an analog output of ±10, the T12 is also fully compatible with conventional technologies. Additionally the T12 outputs RS-422 signals to enable measurement of rotational speed and angle.
The T12 benefits from a compact design that saves space and costs in test stand design. The lower rotor weight reduces bearing loads, while the smaller mass moments of inertia reduce dynamic moments during acceleration or braking.
By monitoring certain functions, for example, temperature and mechanical limit, the T12 can indicate critical operating states over time. This enables down times to be reduced and machinery damage prevented. Auto-diagnosis functions easily identify operating errors and settings that are not in line with specifications.
