Minebea Develops Flange Type Torque Transducers

In April 2003, Minebea Co., Ltd. launched flange type torque transducers. This product is a torque transducer that combines a calibrated torque-measuring flange attached with a strain gage and an optical transformer based on the optical transmission method where signals are picked up contact-free from a body of rotation. This torque transducer uses a thin flange and no bearings, and can measure both static torque and dynamic torque.



Product name Flange type torque transducer
Features

(1) Digital signal transmission system based on a new patent pending optical transmission method and a patent pending sensing element are adopted.

(2) A newly developed strain gage has improved precision, rigidity, fatigue resistance, and a long-term stability. (compared with conventional company products)

(3) Users are makers of motorcycles, cars and their performance test equipment, agricultural implements, and construction equipment.

(4) Flange's spigot joint and stator's block construction allow easy mounting and removal.

(5) A high-precision torque transducer with light-emitting diode (LED) used in the rotor.
