HBM Torque Flange Has Measuring Range From 200Nm HBM has improved the performance of its T40 multi-purpose torque flange with a new rated measuring range from 200Nm. The T40 is now available with rated torques of 200nm, 500nm, 1kNm, 2 kNm, 3 kNm, 5 kNm and 10kNm. Intended to provide accurate torque measurements, even under difficult ambient conditions, the T40 features identical electrical configuration throughout the series. This allows the torque transducer to be used for a range of applications - from friction performance measurements, applications for engine or gear test benches to chassis test benches - without modifications. The T40 series' compact design means that the torque flange can be easily integrated into a test bench and is insensitive to parasitic loads. Direct mounting of machine elements - without additional joint shafts or couplings - is possible. The T40 does not use slip rings or bearings and is therefore totally maintenance and wear free. The reliability...

HBM Introduces CMD600 Digital Charge Amplifier The HBM CMD600 digital charge amplifier enables mechanical quantities, such as force, pressure or torque, in the measured range of 50pC to 600,000pC to be measured with piezoelectric sensors. It also allows the quantities to be made available either as analogue voltage signals (0-10V) or in digital form via its integrated Ethernet interface. The amplifier is said to be suitable for very fast measurements with frequencies up to 30kHz. All signal inputs and outputs are electrically isolated, ensuring simple and secure integration in control systems. Additional digital inputs and outputs can be used for various control functions with peak value or limit value signalling. The PC software provided allows the user to configure the amplifier using standard TCP/IP. The software recognises every CMD600 in the network automatically and enables IP address setting. The CMD600 utilises a transducer electronic datasheet (TEDS) so that any connecte...
