3 Application
The T12 digital torque transducer records static and dynamic torque at
stationary or rotating shafts measures rotational speed or angle of rotation,
including indication of the direction of rotation, and computes the power. It is
designed for:
• highly dynamic torque measurements when testing the performance and
functionality of engines and compound sets
• high‐resolution speed and angle of rotation measurements
• fast, dynamic performance measurements on engine and transmission test
rigs and roll test stands
Designed to work without bearings and with contactless digital signal
transmission, the torque measuring system is maintenance‐free.
The torque transducer is supplied for nominal (rated) torques of 100 N⋅m to
10 kN⋅m. Depending on the nominal torque, maximum speeds of up to
18 000 rpm
are permissible.
The T12 torque transducer is reliably protected against electromagnetic inter
ference. It has been tested with regard to EMC according to the relevant
European standards, and carries the CE mark.

Low pass LP2: 0.05 Hz ... 100 Hz
Low pass LP: 0.1 Hz ... 80 Hz
11
Fig. 4.1: Signal flow diagram
The torque and the temperature signal are already digitized in the rotor and
transmission is therefore noise‐free.
The torque signal can be zeroed
, scaled (2‐point scaling) and
filtered via two low passes (LP1 and LP2). A further scaling of the frequency
output and the analog output is then possible.
NOTE
Scaling at position
(see Fig. 4.1) changes the internal calibration of
the torque transducer.
The speed signal can be filtered and also scaled for the analog output.
The angle of rotation signal, the performance signal (low pass filter LP) and
the temperature signal are only available on the fieldbusses.
The torque signal and the speed signal can be filtered via two low passes
connected in series, with the filter outputs also being available separately.
The scaled, unfiltered torque signal is used to calculate power. The resultant,
highly‐dynamically calculated power signal is filtered via a further low pass.
A1979-7.1 en HBM
12
T12
For settings over 100 Hz (torque low‐pass filter 1 only), phase delay
compensation is run for the angle of rotation signal. This ensures that torque
and angle of rotation values that are measured simultaneously are also output
simultaneously.
For rotational speed and angle of rotation, two pulse series with a shift of 90°
are available as RS‐422 compatible signals.
A1979-7.1 enHBM
T12

5 Structure and mode of operation
The torque transducer comprises two separate parts: the rotor and the stator.
Strain gages (SGs) for torque measurement have been installed on the rotor.
Carrier frequency technology (19.2 kHz carrier frequency) is used for
analyzing the SG and temperature signal. The rotor temperature is measured
at two measuring points and averaged.
The electronics for transmitting the bridge excitation voltage and the
measurement signal is located centrally in the rotor. The coils for the
noncontact transmission of excitation voltage and measurement signal are
located on the rotor's outer circumference of side A. The signals are sent and
received by a transmitter head. The transmitter head is mounted on the stator,
which houses the electronics for voltage adaptation and signal conditioning.
Connectors for inputs and outputs (for the connector pin assignment, see
chapter 8.3) are located on the stator. The transmitter head encloses the rotor
over a segment of about 120° and should be mounted concentrically around
the rotor (see chapter 6).
In the case of the speed measuring system option, the speed sensor is
mounted on the stator, the customer attaches the associated slotted disc on
the rotor. The optical speed measurement works on the infrared transmitted
light principle.

6 Mechanical installation
WARNING
Handle the torque transducer carefully. The transducer might suffer
permanent damage from mechanical shock (e.g. dropping), chemical
effects (e.g. acids, solvents) or thermal effects (e.g. hot air, steam).
With alternating loads, you should glue the rotor connection screws into
the counter thread with a screw locking device (medium strength) to
exclude prestressing loss due to screw slackening.
The T12 torque transducer can be mounted directly with a relevant shaft
flange. It is also possible to directly mount a joint shaft or relevant compensat
ing element on opposite flange (using an intermediate flange when required).
Under no circumstances must the permissible limits specified for bending
moments, transverse and longitudinal forces be exceeded. Due to the torque
transducer's high torsional stiffness, dynamic changes on the shaft run are
minimized.
CAUTION
Check the effect on speeds and natural torsional oscillations critical to
bending, to prevent the transducer being overloaded by increases in
resonance.
6.1 Conditions on site
The T12 torque transducer is protected to IP54 according to EN 60529.
Protect the transducer from coarse dirt, dust, oil, solvents and moisture.
During operation, the prevailing safety regulations for the security of
personnel must be observed (see "Safety instructions").
There is wide ranging compensation for the effects of temperature on the
output‐ and zero signals of the T12 torque transducer (see specifications on
page 51). This compensation is carried out at static temperatures. This
guarantees that the circumstances can be reproduced and the properties of
the transducer can be reconstructed at any time.
If there are no static temperature ratios, for example, because of the temper
ature differences between flange A and flange B, the values given in the spe
cifications can be exceeded. Then for accurate measurements, you must
A1979-7.1 enHBM
T12
15
ensure static temperature ratios by cooling or heating, depending on the
application. As an alternative, check thermal decoupling, by means of heat
radiating elements such as multiple disc couplings.
6.2 Mounting position
The transducer can be mounted in any position. With clockwise torque, the
output frequency is 10...15 kHz (Option 4, Code DF1/DU2: 60 kHz ... 90 kHz).
In conjunction with HBM amplifiers or when using the voltage output, a
positive output signal (0 V to +10 V) is present.
With counterclockwise torque, the output frequency is 5 kHz...10 kHz (Option
4, Code DF1/DU2: 30 kHz ... 60 kHz).
In the case of the speed measuring system, an arrow is attached to the head
of the sensor to clearly define the direction of rotation. When the transducer
rotates in the direction of the arrow, a positive speed signal is output.
6.3 Installing the slotted disc (speed measuring system
only)
To prevent damage to the speed measuring system's slotted disc during
transportation, it is not mounted on the rotor. Before installing the rotor in the
shaft run, the customer must attach it to the mounting ring. The mounting ring
and the associated speed sensor are already fitted at the factory.
The requisite screws, a suitable screwdriver and the screw locking device are
included in the list of components supplied.

CAUTION
When carrying out installation work, be careful not to damage the
slotted disc!
Installation sequence
1. Push the slotted disc onto the mounting ring and align the screw holes.
2. Apply some of the screw locking device to the screw thread and tighten
the screws (tightening torque < 0.15 N⋅m).
6.4 Installing the rotor
T12
NOTE
In general, the rotor identification plate is no longer visible after
installation. This is why we include with the rotor additional stickers
with the important ratings, which you can attach to the stator or any
other relevant test‐bench components. You can then refer to them
whenever there is anything you wish to know, such as the shunt signal.
Data can also be accessed through T12 Assistent.
To explicitly assign the data, the identification number and the
measuring range are specified on the rotor where they can be seen from
outside.
A1979-7.1 enHBM
T12

Fig. 6.2: Screw connections, flange B
1. Prior to installation, clean the plane surfaces of the transducer flange and
the counter flange. For safe torque transfer, the surfaces must be clean
and free from grease. Use a piece of cloth or paper soaked in solvent.
When cleaning, make sure that you do not damage the transmitter coils.
2. For the flange A screw connections, use hexagon‐socket screws DIN EN
ISO 4762 of property class 10.9 (measuring range 3 kN@m ... 10 kN@m:
12.9) of the appropriate length (depending on the connection geometry,
see Table 6.1).
We recommend fillister‐head screws DIN EN ISO 4762 or similar,
blackened, smoothheaded, permitted size and shape variance in
accordance with DIN ISO 4759, Part 1, product class A.
WARNING
With alternating load: Use a screw locking device (e.g. LOCTITE no. 242)
to glue the screws into the counter thread to exclude prestressing loss
due to screw slackening.
3. First tighten all the screws crosswise with 80% of the prescribed tightening
torque (Table 6.1), then tighten again crosswise, with the full tightening
torque.
A1979-7.1 en HBM
18
4. There are relevant tapped holes on flange A for continuing the shaft run
mounting. Again use screws of property class 10.9 (measuring range of
3 kN@m ... 10 kN@m: 12.9) and tighten them with the prescribed torque, as
specified in Table 6.1.

NOTE
Even if mounted correctly, the zero point adjusted at the factory may be
offset by up to 3 %. If this value has been exceeded, we recommend to
check the mounting conditions. If the remaining zero point offset is
greater than 1 % after dismounting, please send your transducer to our
factory in Darmstadt for evaluation.
CAUTION
With alternating loads, use a screw locking device to glue the
connecting screws into place. Guard against contamination from
varnish fragments.
