The dynamic peak-to-peak amplitude must not exceed 200% of the nominal torque of the TM
Transducer. This is even true with alternating loads. This amplitude must remain within a range of
-200 % M

proteCtive systems
Warning! all rotating parts must Be fitted With a
protective system to ensure that the user,
as Well as all other surrounding people
and oBJects, Will not Be inJured or damaged
as a result of the drive element Becoming
Blocked, a torque overload, or any other
potential proBlem.
The following precautions concerning protective equipment of the drive train must be observed:
• Protective elements must prevent access to moving parts (during test).
• Protective elements must cover all parts which can cause crushing or cutting, and protect
against projections of parts having become loose.
• Avoid attaching protective elements to rotating parts.
• Keep protective elements at a sufficient distance away from rotating parts.
Figure 2–10
shows a good example of a protective system. All parts of the bench are accessible, but
the covers prevent any risk to the user when closed.
