NCTE torque sensors
Series 2000
Interface description
Mechanical connection:
The key stone adapters on both ends of the measurement shaft are intended for torque transmission.
Electrical connector:
On the sensor housing there is a 8-pin socket for the power supply and the signal output (see chapter
connection plan).
Operation (in regular case or in optimal case)
Optimal measurement parameters can be achieved if the sensor is applied in accordance to the specification.
By compliance with the specification the sensor works generally trouble-free and maintenance-free.
Irregular operation, measures against disturbance
The mechanical overload on the sensor (e. g. exceeding of maximum allowed torque or severe vibrations)
may cause damage to the sensor and in consequence the incorrect signal output. In such cases please do
not open the sensor. Contact LUCHSINGER directly for assistance.
Commissioning
After sensor installation pay attention to the following:
The sensor may only be operated with a shielding.
Switch on the power supply unit and check the supply voltage. Peak voltage must be avoided! Be
sure to verify the power supply voltage before connecting the sensor!
Connect the sensor to the power supply unit by using the delivered cable.
Connect the sensor output to a high-resistance device such as an A/D converter, oscilloscope, pc
measurement board. The sensor should be in mechanical unloaded state while connecting it.
Shaft coating
The shafts are protected on both sides with a film of anticorrosion wax. We recommend to leave the
protection permanent. As far as technologically needed, the coating can be removed with spirit / ethanol
Handling and transportation
By handling, storage and transportation keep the sensor away from magnetic or electromagnetic fields which
may exceed the maximal intensity defined from EMC (chapter technical characteristics) for instance
degaussing machines.
Precautions
Do not open the sensor housing under any circumstances.
Do not remove or loosen the locking rings on the shaft ends.
Do not loosen or tighten the flange-mounting nut of the socket-connector (chapter dimensions).
Use only a separate power supply for the sensor.
Use the sensor only according to the specification (chapter technical characteristics).
Maintenance and overhaul
As part of your testing and measuring equipment management, we recommend regular checking of your
testing and measuring equipment. Please also observe the corresponding standards and guidelines.
