Load-carrying capacity limits
The data in the technical data sheets must be complied with when using the
torque flange. The respective specified maximum loads in particular must
never be exceeded. For example, the values stated in the specifications must
not be exceeded for
• Limit torque,
• Longitudinal limit force, lateral limit force or bending limit moment,
• Torque oscillation width,
• Breaking torque,
• Temperature limits,
• Limits of the electrical load-carrying capacity.
Use as a machine element
The torque flange can be used as a machine element. When used in this man-
ner, it must be noted that, to favor greater sensitivity, the transducer is not de-
signed 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 regulations, once the transduc-
ers have been mounted, a covering agent or cladding has to be fitted as fol-
lows:
• The covering agent or cladding must not be free to rotate.
• The covering agent or cladding should prevent squeezing or shearing and
provide protection against parts that might come loose.
• 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.
• Covering agents and cladding must still be attached even if the moving
parts of the torque flange are installed outside peoples' 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
safeguards.
