Static torque sensor 8661dynamicnon-contactintelligent

The 8661 precision torque sensor is the ideal choice for reliable measurement of static and dynamic clockwise and counter-clockwise torques. Thanks to its high measurement quality and low linearity error, the sensor is equally at home in quality control or research & development. Designed for non-contact operation and zero-maintenance, the 8661 is also ideally suited to the production environment, whether on shift-based production lines, test benches or end-of-line test systems. The 8661 torque sensor is the specialist device for constant torque measurements during continuous operation and for test-bench measurements of holding, friction, break-away or tightening torques. An optional built-in incremental encoder disk with up to 2000 increments makes the sensor the perfect alternative where space or budget rule out an additional angle or speed sensor. For mobile use and for instant digital access to measurement data, the 8661 torque sensor is also available with a USB interface. A laptop or PC running the DigiVision PC software can read, visualize and archive the measurement data. System integration, for instance into LabView, is easy thanks to a driver package available free of charge. ► Test setups for precision mechanics ► Haptics testing of actuator elements ► Engine test benches and power measurement ► Biomechanical product testing ► Measurement of bearing friction torques ► Suitable for use in all types of test bench The 8661 torque sensor essentially consists of three blocks: the rotor, the housing (containing the stator) and the output electronics. The rotor is composed of several parts and contains the actual measuring device — a spring element.
