'Smart' torque sensors
The 'Smart' range of interchangeable torque sensors is specially adapted to the Vortex-dV. To ensure that you have the optimum selection to meet your torque testing needs, four different sensors are available. All sensors measure from zero and cover the range from 1.5 N.m right up to 10 N.m.
Measurement accuracy is an outstanding ±0.5% of the sensor capacity.
The 'Smart' sensor you choose is connected to a single torque display unit (AFTI), which automatically recognises the calibration characteristics without any input from the operator. The AFTI is linked to the test frame via an interface cable allowing measurement data to be simultaneously displayed on its control panel.
Each sensor is fitted with a ⅜" male square drive for connection to a range of fixing tables and chucks to hold your specimens.
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 | 1.5 | 3 | 6 | 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| N.m | 1.5 | 3 | 6 | 10 |
| kgf.cm | 15 | 30 | 60 | 100 |
| lbf.in | 13 | 26 | 50 | 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.
