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 “Load carrying capacity
limits" and to the specifications.
Accident prevention
According to the prevailing accident prevention regula
tions, once the transducers have been mounted, a cover
ing agent or cladding has to be fitted as follows:
S The covering agent or cladding must not be free to
rotate.
S The covering agent or cladding should prevent
squeezing or shearing and provide protection against
parts that might come loose.
S Covering agents and cladding must be positioned at a
suitable distance or be so arranged that there is no
access to any moving parts within.
S Covering agents and cladding must still be attached
even if the moving parts of the torque flange are
installed outside people's movement and working
range.
The only permitted exceptions to the above requirements
are if the torque flange is already fully protected by the
design of the machine or by existing safety precautions.
