12 Load-carrying capacity
Nominal (rated) torque can be exceeded statically up to the torque limit. If the
nominal torque is exceeded, additional irregular loading is not permissible. This
includes longitudinal forces, lateral forces and bending moments. The limit val-
ues can be found in Chapter 17, “Specifications”, page 85.
Measuring dynamic torque
The torque transducer is suitable for measuring static and dynamic torques.
The following apply to the measurement of dynamic torque:
• The T12CVS8 calibration performed for static measurements is also valid
for dynamic torque measurements.
• The natural frequency f
0
of the mechanical measuring arrangement de-
pends on the moments of inertia J
1
and J
2
of the connected rotating
masses and the torsional stiffness of the T12CVS8.
Use the equation below to approximately determine the natural frequency f
0
of
the mechanical measurement system:
• The maximum vibration bandwidth is lower than 200% the typical nominal
(rated) torque of the T12CVS8 (see “Specifications”, page 73). The
oscillation bandwidth must lie between the maximum upper and lower
torques of the defined loading range. The same also applies to transient
resonance points.
