ITC torque sensors
The ITC range of interchangeable torque sensors is specially adapted to the Vortex-i and -xt test systems.
They plug into the frame and their calibration characteristics are immediately recognised by the software of the tester without any input from the operator.
Each sensor is fitted with a ⅜" male square drive for connection to a range of fixing tables and chucks to hold your specimens.
To ensure that you have the optimum selection to meet all your torque testing needs, five different interchangeable sensors are available. All sensors measure from zero up to their nominal capacity allowing you to use the Vortex for low torque measurements up to 0.3 N.m and right up to 10 N.m.
Sensor capacity, range and accuracy
Each sensor reads from zero to its full nominal capacity (listed below). Measurement accuracy is an outstanding ±0.5% of the sensor capacity.
| Model | 0.3 N.m | 1.5 N.m | 3 N.m | 6 N.m | 10 N.m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N.m | 0 - 0.3 | 0 - 1.5 | 0 - 3.0 | 0 - 6 | 0 - 10 |
| kgf.cm | 0 - 3 | 0 - 15 | 0 - 30 | 0 - 60 | 0 - 100 |
| lbf.in | 0 - 2.7 | 0 - 13 | 0 - 26 | 0 - 52 | 0 - 90 |
Each sensor is delivered as standard with its own calibration certificate traceable to national standards.
Servicing and calibration
Mecmesin also provides annual servicing and torque sensor re-calibration. Talk to one of our engineers or your local national distributor to find out more.
