Overview: The document provides comprehensive instructions for the operation and assembly of the DATAFLEX® 42/1000 Torque Measuring Shaft, a maintenance-free device with integrated speed measurement. It is designed to work with the RADEX®-N coupling to form a torsionally stiff, double-cardanic coupling system.

Technical Data: The DATAFLEX® 42/1000 features two torque measuring ranges, integrated speed measurement, and specific electrical and mechanical specifications. Key parameters include a nominal temperature range of 0-55°C, a supply voltage of 24V DC, and a maximum speed of 6500 rpm.

Safety and Usage Advice: Users are advised to thoroughly read the instructions, adhere to safety symbols, and ensure the device is used as intended. Unauthorized modifications are prohibited, and compliance with the EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC is mandatory.

Storage and Transport: The device should be stored in a dry, covered area with a relative humidity of less than 65%. Proper transport and lifting equipment should be used to avoid damage.

Assembly Instructions: Detailed steps for assembling the DATAFLEX® torque measuring shaft and RADEX®-N coupling are provided, including advice on bore alignment, displacement compensation, and the correct tightening of clamping screws.

Special Functions: The document outlines procedures for sensor testing, measuring range switching, and zero adjustment, both automatic and manual.

Disposal and Maintenance: Instructions for the proper disposal of the device and guidelines for maintenance and service are included. The device is maintenance-free, but annual calibration inspections are recommended.

Declarations of Conformity: The document concludes with EU and UK declarations of conformity, ensuring compliance with relevant standards, including electromagnetic compatibility directives.

Technical Specifications: The DATAFLEX® 42/1000 uses wire strain gauges for contactless signal transmission and features a two-channel shaft encoder providing speed signals with a resolution of 720 periods per revolution. Connection housing DF2 includes 12 screw terminals for power supply and signal connections.

Connection Details: Supply voltage is 24V DC ± 4V, with a maximum current of 100 mA. Torque signal output ranges from -10V to 10V proportional to torque, and speed signals include two square-wave signals and a scalable voltage output with direction signal.

Maintenance and Calibration: The device is maintenance-free, requiring no lubrication or cleaning. Annual calibration inspection is recommended.

Environmental Considerations: Packaging and products should be disposed of according to legal regulations and standards.

Liability and Warranty: KTR disclaims liability for damages resulting from the use of non-KTR spare parts and accessories.
