Operation Manual Torque sensor Model 8661

Product catalog summary
Safety Instructions
The document emphasizes the importance of understanding safety symbols and pictograms, adhering to signal words like DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION to prevent injury or equipment damage. It highlights risks such as electric shock and advises using the sensor in non-safety-critical applications outside explosive areas.
Introduction
The torque sensor model 8661 is designed for measuring static and dynamic torques on rotating or stationary machine parts. It features contactless transmission and is maintenance-free. The sensor is not intended for safety-critical applications and should be used only for measuring torque, rotational speed, or angular displacement.
Environmental Conditions
The sensor should be protected from moisture, chemicals, and dust, stored in a dry atmosphere with temperatures between 0°C and 60°C, and cleaned with a dry cloth.
Device Design and Operation
The torque sensor consists of a measuring shaft, electronics box, and sensor unit. It operates by deforming the torsion shaft, changing the resistance of strain gauges, which is processed into an analog voltage proportional to the measured torque.
Dynamic Torques
Dynamic torques should be measured at a maximum of 70% of the rated torque to avoid resonance, which can cause damage. Signal analysis and control systems must be considered during dynamic testing.
Warranty and Maintenance
The manufacturer provides a 24-month warranty, excluding damage from improper use. Regular checks and recalibration are recommended, with bearings replaced after 20,000 hours of operation. Unauthorized modifications void the warranty.
Customer Service
Contact the service department with the serial number for repairs or inquiries. Contact details for burster präzisionsmesstechnik gmbh & co. kg are provided.
Calibration and Resonant Frequency
Static torque calibration is applicable for dynamic torque measurements, considering the instrumentation amplifier's characteristics. The resonant frequency is determined by the sensor's spring constant and the moments of inertia of connected bodies. The Holzer-Tolle method is suggested for determining resonant frequency.
Interference Sources
Potential interference sources include temperature changes, vibrations, spurious forces, electromagnetic and magnetic interference, and misalignments. Measures should be taken to mitigate these interferences for accurate measurements.
Installation Guidelines
Preparation: A run-in period is recommended before installation to distribute lubricant evenly. Proper shaft fit and clean mounting surfaces are essential.
Mechanical Installation: Detailed instructions are provided for installing the torque sensor using a mounting block or free-floating installation, emphasizing avoiding excessive torques and ensuring precise alignment.
Electrical Connection
The torque sensor model 8661 requires a specific power supply setup, with caution against connecting power via multiple connections simultaneously. Connector pin assignments and guidance on voltage output for torque and TTL output for rotational speed are detailed.
Cable Management
Proper cable management is crucial to avoid interference from electrical and magnetic fields. Recommendations include grounding the sensor, using shielded cables, and maintaining a safe distance from high-energy equipment.
Measurement and Operation
The procedure for switching on the torque sensor is outlined, noting that some models perform a self-test upon startup. The importance of using appropriate extension cables and adjusting the measuring chain if necessary is emphasized.
Torque Sensor Model 8661 Overview
Status Display: LED indicators display torque levels, with different colors indicating various torque ranges and faults.
Speed Limits: Adhering to specified speed limits is crucial to prevent damage.
Check Function: Applying a voltage to the test input should result in a 10.000 V output signal.
USB Version: Requires careful handling of the protective dust cap and proper connection to a computer. It identifies as a high power device, drawing 495 mA, which may require an active USB hub for laptops.
Software DigiVision
This software is necessary for configuring and analyzing data from the torque sensor. It supports up to 32 measurement channels and allows for extensive parameter configuration. The software requires a valid license key for use.
Device Settings
Users can configure dimensional units, conversion factors, and measurement ranges. Limits and properties such as software version and calibration date can also be set.
Measurement Settings
Users can select measurement rates and modes, including normal and speed-optimized polling mode (SPOM), and configure display settings for measurement curves.
Measurement Reports
DigiVision provides tools for saving, viewing, and exporting measurement reports. Reports can be exported to Excel or printed as PDF documents.
System Requirements
The software is compatible with various Windows operating systems and requires a minimum of 256 MB RAM and 500 MB of free hard disk space.
Software Installation
Administrative rights are required to install DigiVision. The installation involves running "autorun.exe" from the CD-ROM, choosing a language, and proceeding with the setup. If .NET Framework 4.0 is not installed, it will be installed automatically.
Driver Installation
Connect the USB cable to the torque sensor and a USB port on the PC. Update the driver software by specifying the path to the driver files located in the DigiVision installation directory.
Data Storage
Enable "Save raw-data measurement files" in DigiVision preferences to store measurement data.
Software Version & Licensing
Different versions of the software offer varying capabilities, from a free version with 1-channel measurement to an upgradeable version with 32-channel measurement. Activation is done via an activation code.
Options
Angle/Speed Measurement: The sensor can include angle/speed measurement with various encoder disk increments.
Dual-Range Sensor: Allows measurement over two ranges with specific voltage levels for switching.
Calibration and Adjustment
Factory calibration includes measurement values, uncertainty, and traceability. DAkkS calibration follows ISO-17025 standards. Regular recalibration is recommended every 12 months or after specific events like overload or repair.
Taking Out of Use
Properly remove and protect the torque sensor from physical damage.
Technical Data
The technical specifications for the sensor model 8661 can be found in the enclosed data sheet, accessible online.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Interference Immunity: Complies with EN 61326-2-3:2006 for industrial locations.
Emitted Interference: Also adheres to EN 61326-2-3:2006 standards.
Accessories
Detailed information about accessories, including the DigiVision configuration and analysis software, is available in the data sheet online.
Disposal Instructions
Battery Disposal: Users are legally required to return used batteries and rechargeable batteries, as disposal through household waste is prohibited.
Equipment Disposal: Unserviceable equipment must be disposed of in accordance with legal requirements to contribute to environmental protection.
