Installation and operational Tips:
The Keys on the shaft are removable, may require to be removed before installing the couplings.
The sensor is only part of the complete drive shaft and depending on the speed the alignment
must be made in a proper way. Each type of coupling can compensate certain misalignment (of
radial, axial and angular character). Customer is responsible for damage to the shaft due to
misalignment and overloading on the shaft.
Radial and torsional vibrations can severely impact the performance of the torque sensor. For
this reason speeds at or near the torque sensor’s natural frequency should be avoided.
For coupling recommendation, see link on website under support/futek manuals/
TRD/TRH/TRS-Series.

6. Maintenance
TRD/TRH/TRS Series sensors are almost
replaced by factory after its life time.
Durability of bearings in compensated temperature range is approx. 20,000 hours.
Durability of bearings in operating temperature range is approx. 10,000 hours.
For Precision applications: Calibration of the sensor should be done at FUTEK or with adequate
calibration equipment.
Calibration: Yearly calibration is recommended but it depends on the criticality of the application &
requirement and may require smaller calibration intervals.
Inspect torque sensor cable and mating connector for damage on a monthly basis.
