Magtrol - Model TS 100 Series -Torque Sensors

Magtrol’s TS 100 Series In-LineTorque Sensors provide extremely accurate torque and speed measurement. Each model has an integrated conditioning electronic module providing 0 V DC to ± 5 V DC (±10 V DC) torque output through an 8-pole connector, as well as a USB interface which can be directly connected to a computer. The sensor is delivered with software allowing easy connection and data acquisition. A speed encoder provides a minimum of 360 PPR (Pulse Per Revolution) in Tach A, Tach B and Index reference Z (1 PPR). Magtrol Torque Sensors are very reliable, providing high overload protection, excellent long-term stability and high noise immunity. TS 100 Series sensor models are strain gauge-based measuring systems with imbedded telemetry signal transmission. Three LED lights located on the sensor cover allow a visual check of the sensor status by color code (combination of the 3 LEDs). The sensor is powered by 24 V DC (12 – 32 V DC) through its 8-pole connector. TARE & B.I.T.E. (Built-In Test Equipment) can be activated by either software or input from the 8-pole connector. Available torque ranges from 0.02 N·m … 500 N·m.

The sensor offers both an isolated USB interface and an analog output. Both signals can be utilized simultaneously. For example, control loop data can be acquired using a computer via the USB interface while fast data acquisition can be performed using the analog output. In addition torque, speed, and angle data can be acquired using the USB interface while fast control loop data can be acquired using the analog output signals. The refresh time of the continuous analog signals is 100 μs (10 kHz). The analog signal provides a 0 to ± 5 VDC output corresponding to the sensor nominal range up to 200 % of measuring range (0 to ± 10 VDC). The USB interface can easily be connected and used with the LabVIEW™ dedicated software delivered with the sensor.
