Quartz torque dynamometer for measuring a torque acting
around the sensor axis. The compact dynamometer possesses
high rigidity and therefore a high natural frequency,
enabling the smallest dynamic changes to be measured
in large basic torques.
The dynamometer consists of a torque sensor which is
fitted under high preload between a base plate and a
top plate. The sensor contains a set of shear sensitive
quartz disks. The arrangement of the disks is realized
in a way to yield an electric charge which is proportional
to the torque Mz acting around the axis of the dynamometer.
The charge is led via an electrode to the TNC connector.
Application Examples:
· Testing torque wrenches
· Testing springs (torsion)
· Measurements on small thrust bearings, friction clutches, etc.
· Measuring starting torque on fractional horsepower
and stepping motors
· Ergonomic measurements
