2 2.2 The markings used in this document Important instructions for your safety are specifically identified. It is essential to follow these instructions in order to prevent accidents and damage the property. Symbol Meaning This marking warns of a potentially dangerous situation in which failure to comply with safety requirements can result in death or serious physical injury.
3 4 Structure and mode of operation The torque flange consists of two separate parts: the rotor and the stator. The rotor comprises the measuring body and the signal transmission elements. Strain gauges (SGs) are installed on the measuring body. The rotor electronics for transmitting the bridge excitation voltage and the measurement signal are located centrally in the flange.
4 Fig. 4.2: EMI suppressor Important The use of the shielding plates is important to ensure compliance with FCC regulations. If the shielding plates has to be removed for any purpose (e.g. installation or maintenance), they must be replaced in the original position before the product is used.
5 5 Mechanical installation 5.1 Important precautions during installation Note A torque flange is a precision measurement element and therefore needs careful handling. Dropping or knocking the transducer may cause permanent damage. Make sure that the transducer cannot be overloaded, including while it is being mounted. Handle the transducer with care.
6 Important Even if the unit is installed correctly, the zero point adjustment made at the factory can shift by up to approx. 0.5% of the characteristic value. If this value is exceeded, we advise you to check the mounting conditions. If the residual zero offset when the unit is removed is greater than 1% of the sensitivity, please send the transducer back to the Darmstadt factory for testing. 5.

9 5.5 Preparing for the rotor mounting (exemplary) CAUTION The rotor is heavy Use a crane or other suitable lifting equipment to lift it out of its packaging and install it. Use flexible eye bolts as transport and mounting aids. Hook the lifting equipment to these eye bolts as this ensures that the rotor is lifted horizontally out of the packaging (see Fig 4.1). Transport and mounting eye bolts Fig 5.
10 1. Lift the rotor out of the packaging, rotate horizontally by 180°, so that the bigger flange is pointing upwards (see exemplary Fig 5.1). Flange B Fig 5.2: Rotating the rotor 2. Place the rotor carefully onto a clean and stable table. 3. If the rotor is to be installed horizontally as shown in Fig 5.3, remove one mounting eye bolt. Both mounting eye bolts can initially remain in the flange for vertical installation. Fig 5.
11 4. Clean the plane surfaces of the transducer flange and the counter flange. For safe torque transfer, the faces must be clean and free from grease. Use a piece of cloth or paper soaked in solvent. Make sure that no solvent drips into the inside of the transducer and that the transmitter coils are not damaged during cleaning. 5. Fasten the lifting equipment to the mounting eye bolt(s). 6. Carefully lift up the rotor and move it to the mounting position (see Fig 5.1). 5.
12 Fig. 5.4: Bolted rotor connection 2. For the connection of flange A (see Fig. 5.4), use DIN EN ISO 4762 property class 10.9 hexagon socket screws of a suitable length (dependent on the connection geometry, see Tab. 5.1). We recommend fillister head screws DIN EN ISO 4762, blackened, smooth headed, permitted size and shape variance in accordance with DIN ISO 4759, Part 1, product class A. 3. Fasten all screws with the specified torque (Table 5.1). 4.
13 Note Comply with the maximum screw-in depth as per Tab. 5.1. Otherwise significant measurement errors may result from torque shunt, or the transducer may be damaged. Important Dry screw connections can result in different and higher friction factors (see VDI 2230, for example). This means a change to the required tightening moments. The required tightening moments can also change if you use screws with a surface or property class other than that specified in Tab. 5.
14 5.7 Installing the stator On delivery, the stator has already been installed and is ready for operation. If necessary, the antenna segments can be divided from the antenna segment clamp for maintenance or to facilitate stator mounting. Important We recommend to use the stator ring as it is and to only open if absolutely necessary. When the flexible antenna segments are bent, they easily deviate from circularity. Prevent the antenna segments from a large deformation while bending.
15 2. Careful bend the antenna segments to the necessary amount of gap and slip the antenna ring over the thinnest part of the shaft nearby. 3. Use an appropriate mounting base to install the stator housing in the shaft train so that there is sufficient opportunity for horizontal and vertical adjustments. Do not fully tighten the bolts yet. 4. Now use two hexagon socket screws to mount the antenna segment clamp removed in Point 1.
16 Prevention of stator axial oscillation Depending on the operating conditions, the stator may be excited to vibrate. This effect is dependent on: The rotational speed, The antenna diameter, The design of the machine base. Important To prevent this axial oscillation, the antenna ring requires additional support by the customer. There are two mounting slots on the upper antenna segment clamp (with an inner diameter of 5.5mm), which can be used to incorporate a clamping device .
17 6 General information With extension cables, make sure that there is a proper connection with minimum contact resistance and good insulation. All cable connectors or swivel nuts must be fully tightened. 6.2 EMC protection The product offered is a special assembly for stationary systems that is not available on the general market or a transducer for installation by system integrators and plant manufacturers.
18 Electrical and magnetic fields often induce interference voltages in the measuring circuit. Therefore: Use shielded, low-capacitance measurement cables only Only use plugs that meet EMC guidelines. Do not route the measurement cables parallel to power lines and control circuits. If this is not possible, protect the measurement cable with e.g. steel conduit. Avoid stray fields from transformers, motors and contact switches. Do not ground the transducer, amplifier and indicator more than once.

22 6.4 Supply voltage The transducer must be operated with a separated extra low voltage (supply voltage 9 … 36 VDC). You can supply one or more torque flanges within a test bench at the same time. Should the device be operated on a DC voltage network1), additional precautions must be taken to discharge excess voltages. The information in this Chapter relates to the self-contained operation of the special torque transducer without HBM system solutions.
23 6.5 Use of EMI suppressor To suppress high frequencies a EMI suppressor on the cable between rotor and stator has to be used. Use at least 1 loops of the cable. Fastening must be done in an area not subject to mechanical loads (i.e. no unwanted vibrations, etc.) using cable ties fit for the specific application. Fig 6.1: Installation example EMI suppressor Information Consider longer cable of approximately 40cm due to the installation of the EMI suppressor. The max.
