1.1 Safety and Caution Symbols
Caution:
Injury Risk for Persons
Damage of the Device is possible
Note:
Important points to be considered
1.2 Intended Use
Torque sensors are intended for the measurement of torques. This measurand is further suitable for control tasks. The valid
safety regulations should be absolutely respected. The torque sensors are not safety components in the sense of the
intended use. The sensors need to be transported and stored appropriately. The assembly, commissioning and
disassembling must take place professionally.
1.3 Dangers
The torque sensor is fail-safe and corresponds to the state of technology.
1.3.1 Neglecting of Safety Notes
At inappropriate use, remaining dangers can emerge (e.g. by untrained personnel). The operation manual must be read and
understood by each person entrusted with the assembly, maintenance, repair, operation and disassembly of the torque
sensor.
1.3.2 Remaining Dangers
The plant designer, the supplier, as well as the operator must plan, realize and take responsibility for safety-related interests
for the sensor. Remaining dangers must be minimized. Remaining dangers of the torque measurement technique must be
pointed out.
Human mistakes must be considered. The construction of the plant must be suitable for the avoidance of dangers. A
danger-analysis for the plant must be carried out.
1.4 Reconstructions and Modifications
Each modification of the sensors without our written approval excludes liability on our part.
1.5 Personnel

3.2 Electrical Setup
The supply of the rotor electronics occurs by an alternating voltage, generated in the stator, which transfers to the rotor
through a rotating transformer. There, it is rectified and stabilized. With this supply, the strain gauge bridge is fed.
For the electrical calibration control of the sensor, a control signal is up-modulated to the supply by the µ-processor in the
stator and transferred to the rotor. There, it is filtered and evaluated by the µPC, which also activates the internal switch for
the detuning of the strain gauge bridge.
The measuring signal of the strain gauge bridge is conditioned in an amplifier and then converted into a digital signal, which
will be transferred to the stator by another rotating transformer. Compared to the analog signal, the measuring signal in
digital form is much more disturbance-free. The remaining distance of the measuring signal within the sensor occurs in
digital form, completely. Thus, the measuring system achieves a high reliability of operation.
This signal is further conditioned in the stator, comes into a µ-processor, then - depending upon sensor type - it is converted
to a voltage signal, digital signal or to current and will then reach the output of the sensor and can be directly measured at
the connector.

4 Mechanical Assembly
Caution: During the assembly inadmissibly large forces may not act on the sensor or the couplings.
At small torques (< 20 N·m) connect the sensor electrically during the assembly and observe the
signal, the measurement signal may not exceed the limit values.
During the assembly the sensor must be supported to protect it from falling down.
At torques < 20 N·m always start the assembly at the low torque resistance side
Admissible assembly offset from rotor to stator: axial ±1 mm.
4.1 Couplings
4.1.1 Examples for Single-Jointed Couplings
For this torque sensor we recommend the couplings intended
by burster which must be able to balance an axial, radial or
angular offset of the shafts and not allow large forces to act on
the sensor.
4.1.2 Misalignment Possibilities of Single-Jointed Couplings
Note: Radial misalignments are only possible in the combination of
single-jointed coupling - torque sensor (as adapter) - single-jointed coupling.
Thus, with both single-jointed couplings the torque sensor forms a double-jointed coupling.

4.1.3 Alignment of the Measurement Arrangement
Precisely alignment of the couplings reduces the reaction forces and increases the durability of the couplings. Disturbance
variables are minimized as well.
Due to the multitude of applications, an alignment of the coupling with a straight edge in two levels, vertical to each other, is
sufficient.
However, in drives with high speed an alignment of the coupling (shaft ends) with a dial gauge or a laser is recommended.
Further points to consider
•The axis height of the torque sensor (data sheet) must be considered as well.
•An air gap between rotor and stator must be existent. The rotor may not touch the stator in any operating state.
•Axial position of the rotor to the stator, see data sheet.
For further details see the manual for couplings and/or the data sheet.
4.2 Assembly Possibility Stator
Thread holes for fixation are available at the stator housing.
The thread depth must be considered (possible damage
of the stator electronics). See data sheet.
4.3 Fixing Half Shells
4.3.1 Nominal torque up to 10 N·m
Since the shaft has no bearings, the sensor is delivered with fixing half shells. The fixing half shells are used for the
positioning and the fixation of the shaft in the stator. At mounted half shells the shaft can be turned and it can also be
damaged by forces.
Remove the fixing half shells as described hereafter in chapter Installation Instruction.

shells. The fixing half shells are used for the positioning and the fixation
of the shaft in the stator. At mounted half shells the shaft can still be
turned.
4.4 Basic Assembly
4.5 Installation Instruction
Measuring Range: 0,005 N·m up to 150 N·m
Treat the sensor with utmost care.
Do not apply bending moment or torque to the sensor
Store or transport the sensor with fixing half shells only.
Only use single-jointed couplings on both sides.
The two coupling connections at customers side must be aligned exactly to each other. With the use of BSD THOMAS-
Miniature Couplings Type 966 the axial tension may not exceed the maximum of 0,2 mm and the angular offset may not
exceed the maximum of 0,5°.
First assure that the couplings can be easily shifted on the shaft ends.
The fixing half shells (shaft to housing) must stay in mounted condition at the beginning of the assembly.
The housing may be positioned firmly only after the fixing half shells have been removed.

5.2 Cable
Only use a shielded cable with preferably small capacity. We recommend measuring cables from our product range. They
have been tested in combination with our sensors and meet the metrological requirements.
5.3 Shielding Connection
In combination with the sensor and the external electronics, the shield forms a Faraday Cage. By this, electro-magnetic
disturbances do not have any influence on the measurement signal.
5.4 Running of Measuring Cables
Do not run measuring cables together with control or heavy-current cables. Always assure that a large distance is kept to
engines, transformers and contactors, because their stray fields can lead to interferences of the measuring signals.
If troubles occur through the measuring cable, we recommend to run the cable in a grounded steel conduit.
5.5 Electrical Calibration
Only use the calibration control when the torque sensor is unstressed.
5.5.1 Switch-On of Calibration Control at Analog Output
5.5.2 Calibration Control at RS485
The activation of the calibration control occurs through a command.
For this see command SCMD_WriteFullStroke from Protocol (Document number 090110).
5.6 Speed Sensor (Option)
At the reflexion-procedure, the radiation of the light source is reflected
differently from bright and dark surfaces, located on the shaft. Depending
on the number of the markings at the shaft surface, a modulation of the
light arises.
Optical samplings of the rotation speed are suitable for very small and also
very large rotation speeds.
The sensor must be protected from pollution.

6 Measuring
6.1 Engaging
The warming-up period of the torque sensor is approx. 5 min. Afterwards the measurement can be started.
The warming-up period of the torque sensor is approx. 5 min.
6.2 Direction of Torque
Torque means clockwise or clockwise torque if the torque acts clockwise when facing the shaft end. In this case a positive
electrical signal is obtained at the output.
Torque sensors by burster can measure both, clockwise and counter-clockwise direction.
6.3 Static / Quasi-Static Torques
Static and/or quasi-static torque is a slowly changing torque.
The calibration of the sensors occurs statically on a calibration device.
The applied torque may accept any value up to the nominal torque.
6.4 Dynamic Torques
6.4.1 General
The static calibration procedure of torque sensors is also valid for dynamic applications.
Note: The frequency of torques must be smaller than the natural frequency of the mechanical measurement setup.
The band width of alternating torque must be limited to 70 % of the nominal torque.

Operation of the device in natural resonance can lead to permanent damages.
6.5 Speed Limits
The maximum speed indicated in the data sheet may not be exceeded in any operating state..
6.6 Disturbance Variables
By disturbances, measured value falsifications can occur by
•Vibrations,
•Temperature gradients,
•Temperature changes,
•Arising disturbance variables during operation, e.g. imbalance,
•Electrical disturbances,
•Magnetic disturbances,
•EMC (electromagnetic disturbances),
Therefore avoid these disturbance variables by decoupling of vibrations, covers, etc.

8 Decommission
•All sensors must be dismantled professionally.
•The dismantling of the torque sensor occurs in contrariwise sequence as described in chapter Installation
Instruction.
•Couplings may not be damaged.
•Do not strike sensor housings with tools.
•Do not apply bending moments on the sensor, e.g. through levers.
•The torque sensor must be supported to avoid falling down during the dismantling.
9 Transportation and Storage
Transport or store the sensor with mounted fixing half shells, only!
The transportation of the sensors must occur in suitable packing.
For smaller sensors, stable cartons which are well padded are sufficient (e.g., air cushion film, epoxy crisps, paper
shavings). The sensor should be tidily packed into film so that no packing material can reach into the sensor (ball bearings).
Larger sensors should be packed in cases.
9.1 Transportation
Only release well packed sensors for transportation. The sensor should not be able to move back and forth in the packing.
The sensors must be protected from moisture.
Only use suitable means of transportation.
9.2 Storage
The storage of the sensors must occur in dry, dust-free rooms, only.
Slightly lubricate shafts and flanges with oil before storing (rust).
10 Disposal
The torque sensors must be disposed according to the valid provisions of law.
For this, see our “General Terms and Conditions” www.burster.it
11 Calibration
At the time of delivery, torque sensors have been adjusted and tested with traceable calibrated measuring equipment at
factory side. Optionally, a calibration of the sensors can be carried out.
11.1 Proprietary Calibration
Acquisition of measurement points and issuing of a calibration protocol Traceable calibrated measuring equipment is being
used for the calibration. The sensor data are being checked during this calibration.
11.2 DKD-Calibration
The calibration of the sensor is carried out according to the guidelines of the DKD. The surveillance of the calibrating-
laboratory takes place by the DKD. At this calibration, the uncertainty of measurement of the torque measuring instrument is
determined. Further information can be obtained from burster.
11.3 Re-Calibration
The recalibration of the torque sensor should be carried out after 26 months at the latest.
Shorter intervals are appropriate:
•Overload of the sensor
•After repair
•After inappropriate handling
•Demand of high-quality standards
•Special traceability requirements
