Features of distributed force measurement technology

  • Conventional torque sensors and component force meters have a a bridge circuit made up of 4 strain gauges for each torque or component force. However, the AD7832 series utilizes a distributed force system that evenly distributes 4 dedicated element strain gauges on the sensors.
  • The distributed force detection method makes it possible to perform model calculations using components' forces in the area of strain. This makes it possible to calculate true torque precisely without interference from thrust and radial forces, while still simultaneously measuring these other forces.
  • Because torque is measured as multiple distributed forces, it is possible to lower the noise of model-calculated torque signals compared to conventional methods.
  • The distributed force detection method uses 4-element strain gauges. These specially designed strain gauges are arranged for heat balance within an extremely small area to form a bridge circuit that eliminates the influence of heat gradients and temperature changes.

• Concept of distributed forces

• RTS exclusive 4 element torsion gauges

 

Model cycle processing and frame measurement

The torsion gauge signal is digital and is calculated by the DSP system at high speed using the matrix-vector method.

  • Digital/analog data linkage: Noise-free and high precision torque can be used as a feedback signal via the digital data link. All data can be stored on a PC.
    [CAN, Ethernet, RS485],  [Analog system, DA voltage output ±10 V]
  • Frame measurement (RTS-E)
    It is possible to start recording the frame measurement by timer, interval and external trigger.
    [Frame data output : 20 μsec (50 kHz) sampling data is block transferred.]

Non-contact sensor based on telemetry technology

  • Our development of high speed, large capacity telemeters contributes to our non-contact, simultaneous, highly-accurate measurements.
  • Detected distributed power is A/D transformed inside the sensor. The large amount of distributed force data is transferred with the high speed telemeter, enabling lossless signal transfer.

Rotation synchronization measurement

  • A slit disc rotary encoder installed on the sensor measures the rotation angle simultaneously. The angle information calculated enables output angular velocity, component force, and power.

Accuracy that can only be obtained with double range equipped (optional)

Users usually select sensor range according to the maximum torque value during testing. However, the desirable measurement range tends to be too wide to measure with one sensor. The RTS series can be used in double range mode at 1/5 of full scale without degrading total accuracy, so it can cover anything from a small measurement range to a large measurement range.
