Intended u se
The torque flange is used exclusively for torque, angle of rotation and power measurement
tasks within the load limits stipulated in the specifications. Any other use is not the
designated use.
Stator operation is only permitted when the rotor is installed.
The torque flange may only be installed by qualified personnel in compliance with the
specifications and with the safety requirements and regulations of these mounting
instructions. It is also essential to observe the applicable legal and safety regulations for the
application concerned. The same applies to the use of accessories.
The torque flange is not intended for use as a safety component. Please also refer to the
section "Additional safety precautions". Proper and safe operation requires proper
transportation, correct storage, siting and mounting, and careful operation.
Loading capacity limits
The data in the technical data sheets must be complied with when using the torque flange.
In particular, the respective maximum loads specified must never be exceeded. The
following limits set out in the specifications must not be exceeded, e.g.:
•
Limit torque
•
Longitudinal limit force, lateral limit force or bending limit moment
•
Torque vibration bandwidth
•
Breaking torque
•
Temperature limits
•
Limits of electrical loading capacity
Use as a machine element
The torque flange can be used as a machine element. When used in this manner, it
must be noted that, to favor greater sensitivity, the transducer is not designed with the
safety factors usual in mechanical engineering. Please refer here to the section
"Loading capacity limits", and to the specifications.
