DESCRIPTION
With its compact, bearingless, maintenance-free design, the new TF Torque Flange Sensor from Magtrol brings many appealing advantages to torque measurement applications. The TFs high torsional rigidity supports direct mounting on the machine shaft or flange, avoiding the use of couplings on one side. This allows easy integration into a test system, shortens the overall length of the test bench and reduces costs. Based on strain-gauge technology, the TF Sensors precise telemetry system enables highly accurate signal transmission. A signal amplifier mounted in the measuring flange amplifies the measuring signal, modulates it to high frequency and transmits it inductively (via the HF transmitter) to the conditioner. In the conditioner, the digitized torque signal is transformed into an analog output signal of 5VDC. Rotational speed can be measured and converted to a TTL output signal with the optional speed sensor. The contactless design of the Torque Flange Sensor permits a gap of up to 5 mm (typically 1 to 3 mm) between the rotor antenna and HF transmitter, which makes the signal acquisition insensitive to any axial or radial misalignment. Another advantage of this torque measurement system is its insusceptibility to signal interferencedue to the fact that, unlike other designs, the antenna does not need to be looped around the measuring flange. Additionally, a protective cover can be mounted close to the TF Sensor with no effect on the signal.

APPLICATIONS
TF Torque Flange Sensors measure both static and dynamic torque on stationary and rotating shafts. They are used in general combustion engine, electric motor and gearbox test benches; and can also be mounted inline for active torque monitoring of transmissions, powertrains, wind generators, gas turbines, boat engines, etc.

Couplings For the TF 209 TF 219 Torque Flange Sensors, Magtrol offers double-element high-speed couplings to provide compensation for axial, angular and radial misalignments. Engaged by friction, they are torsionally-stiff and minimize reaction forces. BSD 9200 Series couplings are wear and maintenance-free and feature a compact design.
