HBM torque flange offers secure data transfer between rotor, stator

The HBM T40B torque flange, available from Durham Instruments

For the best in sensors, recorders, and transducers, businesses need look no further than HBM Test and Measurement. This manufacturer, whose products are available in Canada from Durham Instruments, makes many measurement innovations – including the T40B industrial torque flange, recommended for test results that are accurate and reliable.

The T40B is the first industrial torque flange of its class worldwide to offer the advantage of extremely secure digital data transfers between the rotor and the stator.

Reliability at a lower price

This reasonably priced instrument is highly recommended for constantly reliable measurement, even under electromagnetic interference, temperature variations, and other adverse ambient conditions. Test results are accurate every single time, even in work environments rife with humidity or extreme temperatures.

Users can check the T40B at any time due to a shunt that is easy to connect. The torque flange delivers torque measurement that has been approved by HBM’s internal calibration laboratory in high-quality test stands. Features and benefits of this device include the following:

• Nominal (i.e., rated) torque from 50 to 10,000 Newton metres;
• Nominal rotational speed from 10,000 to 20,000 revolutions per minute;
• Accuracy class of 0.05, making the T40B compliant with strict HBM standards;
• Measurement frequency range of up to six kilohertz;
• No bearings or slip rings;
• Low rotor weights and mass moments of inertia;
• Frequency output; and
• Analog output of plus or minus ten volts.

Also available from HBM is the TIM40 torque interface module, which users can buy separately. Advantages of this device include scaling, filtering, and zeroing of the torque signal, a measurement frequency range of up to 10 kilohertz, output signals, and an Ethernet interface with 38,125 measured values per second. The TIM40 also offers connection of the T40B and mounting on a support rail. Companies can also acquire various Anybus modules as accessories.

The T40B industrial torque flange is a compact device that suits many applications. Durham Instruments recommends it for use in several industries, including general manufacturing, automation, power generation, alternative energy, transportation, and research and development.
