Thank You
Thank you for purchasing one of Omega Engineering’s digital non-contact Rotary Torque Sensors. We
know you will be satisfied with the performance and durability of our products.
Intended Use
Model TQ514 is a line of shaft-to-shaft rotary torque sensors for measuring the performance of electric drive
motors, small DC motors, clutches, fans, etc.
This line of sensors incorporates a Full Wheatstone Bridge and transmits the signal to a built- in receiver to
produce a high level analog signal without the use of slip rings. Ball bearing supported shafts will provide
long life and superior performance.
Certificate of Conformance and Calibration Traceability
Omega certifies that the products described herein meet the specifications and performance requirements
described in the pamphlet.
Calibration was performed with a test system utilizing a reference load cell or deadweights and an electronic
indicator. The system was within current calibration requirements at the time of the test and is traceable to
the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Omega Engineering calibration laboratory is accredited to ISO9000-2008
Installation
Install the sensor so that the label “Active End” is facing the place where torque is to be measured, i.e., to
measure the torque applied by a wrench to a bolt, the “Active End” should face the bolt.
Important:
The sensor’s housing is NOT intended for use as a structural support.
Do NOT place any loads on the housing.
It is also important that the
total stress on the shaft does NOT exceed
σ
max.
To calculate the total stress,
use the following equation:
σ
= A*F
x
+ B*F
y
+ C*F
z
+ D*M
x
+ E*M
y
+ F*M
z
