6. About installation

Installation of couplings

For installation, make sure to use single flexible couplings. Never make rigid connections.
Never use with chains or belts applied directly to the shafts of this product.
Select couplings according to the purpose of use. Be careful not to exceed the maximum allowable load
during installation work.

How to install this product

This product can be used in either the horizontal or vertical direction. Also, there is no limit to the cable
drawing-out direction.
For installation to your equipment, float the housing of this product and provide a detent with rigid
polyurethane foam, double sided tape, etc., to such an extent that the housing will not turn. Do not fix the
housing/body of UTM rigidly (it may cause misalignment and thus affect measuring results adversely).

Checking after installation

After installation, check the output under low-speed rotation.

In the case of off-centering or angle deviation during installation, fluctuations appear with rotation;
therefore, installation should be adjusted so that required accuracy can be obtained.

To prevent vibration from occurring with rotation, adjust the dynamic balance of the whole equipment

according to the rotation speed used after installation.

Allowable installation errors

Perform installation with the accuracy at the following allowable installation errors or less.
If the recommended values of the couplings used are higher in requirements, they should be followed.

Rotation starting/stopping conditions and torque

At design-time and before operation, make sure that there is no possibility that the torque applied to this
product will exceed the rating when rotation is started or stopped.

Temperature gradient

Perform installation so as to prevent a temperature gradient from occurring between the shafts.
Perform installation so that heat will not be conducted directly to the shafts from other devices.

Heat generation

High-speed rotation of the shafts will cause the bearings to produce heat. Take cooling measures, such as
ventilation, as necessary.

7. About the parts having a lifetime

This product reaches the end of its life by the wear of the bearings. The life by the wear of the bearings
greatly differs according to the use conditions, but it should be controlled by taking the following as a guide.

8. Troubleshooting

Q. No torque signal is output.

A.

1

Check the power supply voltage. Check to see if the power supply voltage is 24V DC.

 

2

Open the wiring except the power supply, apply torque, and measure the voltage between SIG OUT
and SIG GND.

If voltage is not output in this state, this product is assumed to be faulty.

If voltage is output in this state, the connection method is assumed to have a problem.

   Since each GND of this product is internally common, check the method of connection with
   external devices.

Q.  A torque signal is output in spite of no load.
A.

  Uninstall this product from the equipment, and bring the product alone into a no-load state.

In this state, if the output still exceeds the range expected from the specifications, this product is
assumed to be faulty. The zero point may be out of adjustment due to a sudden temperature change or
overload.
Check the specifications of the equipment to which this product has been installed and the operating
method for problems.

Q. The temperature of this product is abnormally high.
A.

The temperature rise under conditions in which the power is on and the shafts are not rotated is
approxi10

 from the ambient temperature.

Even when they are rotated, the temperature rise under conditions in which improper load is not applied 
to the shafts is approxi20

 (20000rpm). When using at 10000rpm or more, we recommend that 

you keep in mind the ambient temperature and cool the housing by ventilation etc.
If the temperature of this product is obviously abnormal compared with the above, the following causes 
are assumed.
1

Check that heat is not conducted from any other heat source through the shafts.

2

Check that the power supply voltage is 24V DC±15%.

3

If the temperature is high in spite of normal power supply and no rotation, this product is assumed 
to be faulty.

4

If the temperature rises abnormally with normal power supply and rotation, it is assumed that 
improper load (radial or thrust load) may be applied to the shafts, or the life has expired due to the 
wear of the bearings.

Q. The output fluctuates with rotation.
A.

Operate this product alone, and check the fluctuation of the output. If the shafts rotate in a jerking
manner or roughly, it is assumed that the life has expired due to the wear of the bearings.
If the output fluctuates with rotation under conditions in which this product is incorporated, check the 
allowable installation errors. The output is assumed to fluctuate due to the deformation of the couplings, 
the shaft of the measuring object, etc.

Q. The output is not stable with a fixed load applied state.

A.

 

Check the measuring object, this product, and the whole equipment for vibration.

Check to see if there is no strong alternating magnetic field in the vicinity and no constant change in 
temperature.

 Check to see if the shafts are not electrically charged and no leakage current flows through the shafts.

If the output is still not stable, this product is assumed to be faulty.

We offer optimum peripherals, such as couplings, according to your application/use. Please feel free to
contact us.
