If you want to know everything about your sensor:
Calibration in accordance with DIN 51309 requires measurements using the sensor in three varying mounting positions. In other words, the sensor is rotated by 120° in the machine in each case i.e. the torque transducer needs to be mounted and dismounted thrice.
The following characteristics are obtained from a DIN 51309 calibration and specified in the calibration certificate:
- Exact output signal for each calibration step
- Hysteresis values for each calibration step
- Repeatability and reproducibility for one and for varying mounting positions for each calibration step
- Creep behavior
- Return to zero
- Interpolation error (the measured value’s potential deviation from the cubic and linear approximation).
- Classification in accordance with DIN 51309
Furthermore, the calibration certificate specifies the measurement uncertainty as defined in DIN 51309.
This calibration provides guaranteed proof that your torque sensor is traceable measuring equipment (as required by ISO 9001).
Conformity assessment: HBM will identify whether a torque sensor is outside the data sheet specifications.
