All-in-one transducer measures torque, speed and angle
HBM Test and Measurement is launching the T21WN torque transducer. Based on strain-gauge technology, the T21WN uses contactless energy and measurement signal transmission to measure torque. The torque transducer enables demanding static and dynamic measurements of torque, rotational speed and angle of rotation to be performed on non-rotating as well as rotating components. It is suitable for production, process monitoring and quality assurance applications, as well as in laboratories, test shops and test instruments.
Apart from the torque output signal of +/-10V at nominal (rated) torque, it also provides a standard frequency output signal of 10kHz +/-5kHz.
The T21WN torque transducer is available with nominal (rated) torques ranging between 0.1Nm and 200Nm. The maximum permissible rotational speed of the torque measuring system is up to 20,000rpm, depending on the measurement range. An integrated rotational speed/angle of rotation measuring system with 360 pulses per revolution completes the transducer, and this can be used up to the specified maximum nominal (rated) rotational speed without restrictions.
The transducer operates from 24V DC, which is commonly used in test benches. The T21WN is suitable for use in substantially more dynamic applications than the preceding model, the T20WN, thanks to its measurement bandwidth of 1kHz. Users benefit from a significantly broader range of functions than with the preceding model - but at the same price.
