operating principles
The measuring system, based on the principle of a variable, torque-
proportional transformer coupling, consists of two concentric
cylinders shrunk on the shaft on each side of the shaft’s deformation
zone, and two concentric coils attached to the housing.
Both cylinders have a circularly disposed coinciding row of
slots and rotate with the shaft inside the coils. An alternating
current with the frequency of 20 kHz flows through the primary
coil. When no torque is applied, the slots on the two cylinders
fail to overlap. When torque is applied, the deformation zone
undergoes an angular deformation and the slots begin to overlap.
Thus a torque-proportional voltage is on the secondary coil. The
conditioning electronic circuit incorporated in the transducer
converts the voltage to a nominal torque signal of 0 to ±5 VDC. A
low-pass filter (Butterworth/2nd order), adjustable from 5 kHz to
1 Hz, allows tuning of the torque signal frequency limitation.
An optical sensor reads the speed on a toothed path machined
directly on the measuring system. The electronic conditioner
outputs a frequency signal proportional to the shaft rotational
speed. An active circuit compensates the zero and sensitivity
temperature drifts within a tolerance of 0.1% / 10 K.
