INTRODUCTION
The ETS Annular Torque Transducer comes with its own matching amplifier module and shares the same
serial and model number. Transducers can be calibrated in either N∙m, lbf∙ft or lbf∙in as standard, but other
units of Torque are available i.e. cN∙m, dN∙m, Kgf∙cm and Kgf∙m.
The transducer torsion tube is made from heat treated stainless steel on to which are bonded strain gauges
which are wired to form a Wheatstone bridge. The strain gauges vary their resistance in direct proportion to
the Torque applied. The small change in resistance causes a change in voltage across the bridge that is
then amplified by the amplifier module.
The amplifier module is calibrated to each transducer and at it’s heart is an Instrumentation Amplifier.
Housed within the amplifier module are the bridge balance potentiometers, gain setting potentiometer and
bridge test potentiometer along with the range and decimal point coding resistors. The whole is potted in
silicon rubber within a plastic shell.
The amplifier operates from supplies of a +/- 10v and a constant current of 20mA which is delivered to the
bridge via the zero network. The output voltage from the amplifier is fed to the internal circuitry of the ETS.

Amplifier Controls
The adjustments available are as follows:
Fine Zero: To remove any temperature drift effect or non-zero reading.
Coarse Zero: Used for initial bridge balancing, this potentiometer is covered by the label and should not
need adjustment.
Test: When the TEST switch on the ETS back panel is pushed and held in, the ETS display should
read the full scale capacity to which the transducer has been calibrated. This is only for
indication purposes only and not a calibration check. This potentiometer is covered by the
label and should only need adjustment if the span potentiometer is adjusted.
Span: This potentiometer is used to calibrate the amplifier to the transducer when the full scale
Torque is applied to the transducer. This potentiometer is covered by a green tamper proof
label and should only need adjustment if recalibrating the transducer.

APPLICATION OF ANNULAR TRANSDUCERS ON
HANDTORQUETM GEARBOXES
To appreciate the operation of an Annular Transducer on a HandtorqueTM gear box, users need to be aware
of the following:
TORQUE ON TRANSDUCER (T reaction) = OUTPUT SQUARE DRIVE TORQUE (T output) - INPUT
TORQUE (T input)
The reason for this is that the annular transducer measures the reaction torque, not the applied torque and
part of the reaction torque is taken by the operator when the input to the multiplier is loaded
For the HandtorqueTM gearbox shown below there are three external torques applied.
1. The torque applied by the operator through the torque wrench.
( T input = F in x L in )
2. The torque applied to the annulus by the reaction force acting on the reaction plate.
(T reaction = Fr x Lr )
3. The resistive torque of the fastener applied to the gearbox through the drive square.
(T output)
This phenomenon only exists while the multiplier input is being loaded, so if an Anti Wind-up Ratchet is
used, measured torque will equal output torque when the input toqrue has been released.
