PCB® Releases a Series of In-Line Rotary Torque Sensor Systems in the UK
New TORKDISC® for Automotive Powertrain Development Applications
PCB Automotive Sensors Division introduces their 5300D TORKDISC® series of In-line Rotary Torque Sensor Systems designed for test applications requiring a robust rotary torque transducer where axial space is at a premium. The new transducer uses a field proven electronic module that converts the torque signals into a high-speed digital signal. Once in digital form, this data is transmitted to a non-contact pick-up loop, eliminating the risk of noise or data corruption. A remote receiver unit converts the digital data to a high-level analogue output voltage, and a serial digital output.
The Series 5300D features dual high level analogue outputs, AC and DC coupled, providing both static and dynamic torque measurement capability that can be recorded separately and independently scaled, particularly beneficial when high DC levels are present or when low levels of AC content are of particular interest. The 5300D also features an industry leading DC bandwidth up to 8500 Hz, resulting in increased dynamic response characteristics. The DC coupled output features an 8-pole low pass elliptical filter with user selectable frequencies for minimal roll off at each filter selection. A 2-pole Butterworth high pass filter having a wide range of user selectable cut off frequencies is included with the AC coupled output.
Series 5300D TORKDISC® units are ideal for applications such as automotive engine, powertrain & chassis dynamometer testing for performance, emissions, and fuel economy; development of: transfer cases, axles, differentials, rotational dynamics testing, torque studies on pumps, fans, and electric Motors; and gearbox efficiency testing.
