Burster
Flange torque sensor with optical data transmission
Burster has developed a torque sensor with an inductive power supply that is also insensitive to EMC interference thanks to optical data transmission.
The 'Type 8675' sensor consists of a rotor flange with a DIN hole pattern and a stator. This supplies the evaluation electronics for the strain gauge in the rotor with energy, receives the measurement data digitized in the rotor via IR LEDs without contact and can also transmit torques when stationary. This eliminates the need for wear-prone slip rings and bearings. Depending on the version, the measuring range is 0 to 100 Nm or 0 to 5000 Nm. With an accuracy of 0.2 % or 0.1 % (optional), the sensor from Burster is optimized for applications in mechanical and plant engineering. The compact sensor solution can also be integrated in tight spaces. The optical IR transmission also offers an additional benefit for international use: In contrast to radio transmission, no complex approval procedures are required for different markets.
