Warning Notes, Page 4
Attention must be paid to the accident prevention regulations of the trade associations. Coverings
and casings are necessary before operating the sensor. This is also valid for commissioning,
maintenance and trouble shooting.
Duties of the coverings and casings are:
Protection from detaching parts
Protection from contusion and shear
Prevention from reaching rotating parts
Prevention from being tangled up and/or getting caught by parts Coverings may
Not grind
Not rotate
Coverings are also necessary outside of operating and motion travel areas of persons. These
demands can be modified if other sufficient safety devices are available. During operation, the
safety precautions must be operative. By vibrations, damages can occur at the device.
Alignment of the Measurement Arrangement
For further references see coupling manual.
General
Before the assembly, shafts must be cleaned with dissolver (e.g. acetone); no foreign
particles may adhere to them. The hub must fit corresponding to the connection.
During the assembly, the sensor must be supported to protect it from falling down.
Caution: During the assembly inadmissibly large forces may not act on the sensor or the
couplings.
Torque Sensors below 20 N.m
Sensors with nominal torques below 20 N·m are very sensitive to overload, therefore these
sensors need to be handled with greatest caution.
Free-floating Assembly
In this installation case, double-jointed couplings cannot be used for both sides!
Risk of Breakage!
Engaging
Warming-up period of the torque sensor is approx. 5 min.
Natural Resonances
An operation of the device in natural resonance can lead to permanent damages.
