Sec 1: Preface
Thank you for purchasing the MinebeaMitsumi Torque Transducer.
First, please make sure that the equipment has not been damaged during shipping and
that the model is the one ordered.
If there are any problems, contact the Minebea sales office or dealer from
which you purchased the product.
Verify the individual model specifications by using the catalog or specifications.
Sec 2: Introduction
This equipment is capable of measuring both static and dynamic torque by using a thin-flange,
bearing-free torque transducer combining a torque detector flange calibrated by attaching
a strain gauge and an optical transformer that acquires a signal optically,
without making contact with the rotor.
Features include high precision, high stiffness, improved fatigue resistance,
and improved long-term consistency. The stator (antenna unit) has a split configuration
to facilitate mounting and detachment.
CAUTION
•Be sure to use the equipment within its rated operating capacity range.
•
•Mount the equipment by hex socket head bolts.
The bolt sizes used are indicated in this manual and in the specifications manual.
Select bolts with a JIS B 1051 strength classification of at least 12.9.
•In environments where the bolts are susceptible to coming loose, either make sure
the bolts are retightened periodically or include appropriate locking precautions.
•If the equipment is mounted on medical equipment or other devices with
implications for human life, make sure protective circuits are installed in case
the equipment stops functioning.
•Contact Minebea before attempting to use in special environments.
CAUTION
Do not apply voltages to the input terminals exceeding the maximum excitation voltage.

䚷䚷3-3. Mounting procedure
(1) Mount the rotor on the rotating shaft.
Before mounting the rotor, wipe off the rust inhibitor on the flange and spigot using
ethanol or other solvent. Make sure mounting surfaces are free of debris.
Regarding the rotor spigot as a guide and to fix with the specified hex socket head bolts.
(See Fig. 1.)
For specific tightening torques, see the separate tightening torque table.
Tighten the eight evenly-spaced bolts by tightening opposite pairs uniformly, first, to 1/4 of the
tightening torque; then to 1/2 of the tightening torque; then finally to the specified
tightening torque. Please be careful when mounting in case of the damage
to the transmission coil䠄Bakelite bobbin䠅on the rotor periphery.
After mounting, peel off the green tape protecting the photo emitter.

(2) Separate the stator (antenna) and mount aligned with the rotor.
Remove the five M5 hex socket head bolts securing the antenna and separate
the antenna as shown in Fig. 2. Be careful to avoid losing the bolts or flat spring washers
attached when detaching.
Insert the rotor inside before reassembling the separated antenna.
Install by sliding the stator on the alignment face in Fig. 1 to ensure the correct shaft orientation.
Align the stator so that it does not make contact with the rotor anywhere along its periphery.
The stipulated gap between the stator and rotor is 6 mm. This can be aligned visually.
Attach the stator using M8 bolts with plain and spring washers.
After securing the stator, fully tighten the bolts on the separated antenna.
Malfunctions may occur if the bolts on the antenna are not properly tightened.
䚷䚷3-4. Mounting precautions
(1) Select fixing bolts with a JIS B 1051 strength classification of at least 12.9.
(2) Make sure the thread engagement length of the bolts is not less than the nominal bolt diameter.
(3) Make sure the stator clamping base is sufficiently stiff and level.
(4) Be careful to avoid trapping debris and foreign matter inside when mounting.
(5) Never loosen any bolts other than those specified (5-M5) for separating the antenna.
(6) Tighten the bolts correctly. Use the tightening torque values given in the table below.

Sec 4: Measurement Preparations
(1) Wiring
Connect the dedicated cable (CAC-176B-*M) with the transmitter to be used.
For more information, see the transmitter (OPT-563B) instruction manual.
(2) Calibration
Adjust the zero and calibrate the output when operating with no load.
For more information, see the transmitter (OPT-563B) instruction manual.
A positive torque output is generated when the rotor is twisted counterclockwise.
The output polarity can be altered by the settings for the transmitter (OPT-563B).
(3) Test running
Test run the equipment by operating at low speed. Confirm the absence of abnormal output, noise,
overheating, or vibration before starting measurement.
Sec 5: Maintenance and Inspections
This equipment transmits signals optically. This means the signal may not be transmitted
or received correctly if the photo emitter or photoreceptor is obscured by soot or other
contaminants. If necessary䠈keep the surfaces of the photo emitter and photoreceptor clean
by ethanol or other solvent.
Sec 6: Precautions
(1) This equipment transmits signals optically. While ambient fluorescent lights should
present no problems, infrared light from sunlight or incandescent lights may cause
malfunctions. Use a protective cover to shield against outside light if the equipment
is used in locations where sunlight or incandescent lights are present.
(2) The antenna stator conveys a current to transmit the input voltage.
Do not allow it to come into contact with covers in the vicinity or other metal objects.
(3) Two signal output connectors are located on the left and right of the stator.
These are provided to allow the cable to be connected to either side to suit
the installation configuration. Make sure that only one connector is used at any given time.
The signal cannot be output from both connectors simultaneously.
(4) This is a rotating part. Keep a protective cover fitted at all times to prevent
material from flying out.
(5) Vibration may result if the equipment balance is upset after attaching the coupling.
Adjust the dynamic balance for the equipment as a whole after combining the torque
transducer with the coupling and other devices.
(6) Impact loads or vibrations will subject the torque transducer to dynamic loads consisting
of the static load multiplied by the acceleration. Make sure the value taking into account the
acceleration does not exceed the rated capacity of the torque transducer.
(7) Install safety devices to prevent damage if there is a likelihood of excessive loads
acting on the torque transducer.
(8) Make sure the installation location is sufficiently strong.
(9) Use the equipment at ambient temperatures within the compensation temperature range.
(10) Avoid locations subject to sudden temperature fluctuations or direct heat sources.
(11) Check the protection rating. Make sure the equipment is used under
