Torque Measurement Application from FUTEK
Torque Measurement on Automated systems in a variety of torque industries rely on servo motors to monitor linear and rotational motion. Frictional loss and motor speed change necessitate the inclusion of a closed loop control system. Firstly, to accomplish this, place a reaction torque sensor between the servo gearbox and its mounting location to measure the generated torque on a servo motor.
Products in Use
FUTEK‘s TFF500 Reaction Torque Sensor with Thru Hole Center paired with an IAA Series Analogue Amplifier. View Product Details
How it Works
- Firstly, FUTEK’s TFF500 Reaction Torque Sensor is mounted between a CGI Prime 017PLX Planetary Angle Gearhead and the gearhead’s mounting location.
- Secondly, as the servo motor runs, the torque produced and transmitted through the NEMA 17 gearhead is measured by the TFF500.
- The IAA analogue amplifier amplifies the TFF500 signal for input into a PLC for closed loop control of torque.
