The industries we serve
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
The manufacturer describes a low-profile reference transducer for torque measurement where space is limited. Select capacity and flange connections from the model drawing.
The table specifies 1.5 mV/V nominal sensitivity. Use compatible bridge electronics with excitation, rather than only an amplified industrial-voltage input.
No. Accuracy class, linearity including hysteresis and standard deviation of repeatability are separate properties with their own reference bases.
No. The manufacturer requires reduced limits when multiple irregular loads act together. Separate individual limits do not permit applying all maxima simultaneously.
The data sheet specifies IP54 according to EN 60529. Do not transfer another torque transducer protection rating to TB1A; also check the cable and connectors for the required installation conditions.
