The traceable measurement of torques of more than 2 MN ∙ m is of paramount importance in areas such as wind energy. An invention developed at PTB enables traceability by segmenting the torque into several force signals that are measured over a defined lever length. In addition, the torque sensor can decouple most of the mechanical disturbing components. The measurement uncertainty amounts to a maximum of 1 %. (Technology Offer 0470)
Advantages
decoupled design to prevent disturbances due to shearing forces or bending moments
Improved measurement uncertainty of max. 1 %
traceable measuring chain
