Torque & Load Sensors/Transducers

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

The Show Preview presents glimpses of the automation products, devices, software and technologies that would be on display at the Automation Expo 2018 (August 29-September 01, 2018 – BCEC, Goregaon, Mumbai).

Marvel Engineering Company offers a wide range of Torque and Load Sensors. This includes:

TorqSense RWT410/420 Series: These torque sensors feature new electronics that have produced significant performance gains in resolution, frequency response, reduced sensor current consumption and faster digital data throughput. Transducer overload has also been increased to 300%. TorqSense Digital RWT410/420 Series transducers with integral electronics are available in three different body sizes for torque ranges up to 13,000Nm. The series offers a cost effective, non-contact digital rotary torque measurement solution, using TorqSense Surface Acoustic Wave technology, suitable for torque monitoring, testing or controlling drive mechanisms. This technology is particularly appropriate for OEM applications.

TorqSense RWT430/440 Series: With attributes similar to RWT410/420 Series, the digital TorqSense RWT430 and RWT440 Series use the latest and same non-contact TorqSense technology in three different body sizes for torque ranges from 1Nm to 13,000Nm, with above 13,000Nm on request. The only difference for this Series is that it may be more appropriate for some applications to have the sensor unit separate from the electronics unit due to space and/or environmental limitations.

TorqSense RWT450/460 Series: Again, the attributes are similar. TorqSense Digital RWT450 & 460 series pulley/sprocket transducers are suitable for torque monitoring and process control on any belt/chain driven machinery. They offer separate electronics and sensor either with fixed outputs (RWT450 Series) or user selectable outputs (RWT460 Series). USB and RS232 outputs are also available for direct PC interface.

ORT230/240 Optical Series: The ORT 230/240 Transducer offers an ideal means for precise dynamic measurement of rotary and static torque with transducers as small as 10mNm up to 100Nm and for bandwidths of up to 50kHz.

LoadSense Wireless Load Sensor: The wireless LoadSense load sensor is a strain gauge based stainless steel tension type sensor. Available in sizes from 1 tonne to 10 tonnes (with other sizes to follow), it has the capability of wirelessly transmitting its data to one of our compatible readouts and displays or recording its data locally. Its inbuilt 32MBit memory can hold up to 149 hours of data, which can then be downloaded to a PC via its USB cable. The Load Sensor transmits using the worldwide licence free frequency of 2.4GHz on two built in antennas.

LoadSense Handheld Receiver: The wireless LoadSense Handheld Receiver – Display is used in conjunction with the wireless LoadSense load sensor. It provides the user with an easy way to receive and view data from the load sensor. Up to 9 load sensors can be selected from the Handheld Receiver and individually displayed. These load sensors can be individually named by plugging the Load Sensor into a PC via USB and using the load sensor software. They can then be easily distinguished on the display, which will show the current name of the load sensor being read.

Wireless Strain Gauge Transmitter/Receiver Series: The wireless strain gauge transmitter WSG series is capable of turning any manufacturers strain gauge based sensors into wireless systems which can be read using our standard range of displays, readouts and software. The unit is capable of working with 350 ohm strain gauges and above. Calibration data can be set by the user for the corresponding sensor, using our simple interface software. When used with our displays and readouts, it creates a versatile and easy to install system which can be moved between installations if required. The WSG-STM transmitter box has an internal rechargeable battery or can be powered from 11-32V and also provides the USB connection for the PC. The WSG-STD DIN mounted box can be powered from a standard DIN rail supply 11-32V.
