7.3.4 Torque transducer
Torque transducers with different measurement principles require different
amplifier modules in the MGCplus system and therefore different operating
steps.
The HBM torque transducers in the type series TB1A and TB2 work with SG
full bridge circuits. The procedure described in
è section 7.3.1
"SG transducers", page 135 must be followed to adapt the torque channel
(ML10B, ML30B, ML38B, ML55B) of these measurement shafts.
The adaptation of the speed channels (ML60B/ML460) corresponds to the
procedure described in this section.
The HBM torque flanges in type series T10… and T40… (without the -KF1
version) require connection board AP17 for operation with ML60B amplifier
modules (one amplifier module each for torque and rotational speed).
When using the amplifier modules ML460 (multi-channel module) with
AP640i connection boards, the T10 and T40 transducers must be powered
externally.
For calculating additional parameters, such as the rotation output (product
of torque and rotational speed), the freely programmable module ML70B is
recommended for MGCplus. Another option is to use "online calculation
channels" in the HBM catman data acquisition software.
