Intended use
The T40HS 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 T40HS 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 T40HS 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 T40HS 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 T40HS 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.
