Once you've selected the torque sensor, now it's time to install it. The torque sensor is a critical component of accurate measurement and, by design, can act similar to a
mechanical fuse. If it’s installed improperly, the torque sensor can be damaged beyond repair - costing you time and money. To get the
best performance and longevity out of your torque sensor, be sure to install it properly. In this second paper, 21 Tips on How to Install a Torque Sensor, you’ll learn
installation tips and tricks in the following areas:
-
Arrival - handling, moving, shipping
-
Driveline design - critical speed, parasitic forces and design
-
Mechanical installation - couplings, mounting and alignment
-
Cabling - construction and noise immunity
-
Electrical setup - shunt value, calibration data and onsite calibration.
