Torque measurements

• Measuring range 10 N*m with a linearity error of 0.05 % F.S.
• Integral angular position sensor with 2000 increments (maximum resolution 0.045°)
• Zero-maintenance contactless construction
• Analog output or USB version available
• Optionally available as a dual-range sensor

Task

Steering rods, as a safety-related component, must undergo a defined test procedure both in pre-production testing and during the production process. After compression of the bearing, it is tested for low breakaway and friction torques. Torque sensor 8661 with 10 N*m measuring range is used featuring a high-resolution angular position output, which is evaluated by a DIGIFORCE^® 9307. This process step can be used to prevent admissible component tolerances being exceeded.
