Coupling for torque sensors
Installing a torque meter with plain cylindrical shaft ends on a shaft line requires suitable couplings.
- Flexible couplings are often used to compensate for misalignments and to damp vibrations.
- Overload-release couplings are also recommended, as they protect the system in case of overload, thus preventing damage.
- Friction clamp couplings ensure a solid connection without damaging the smooth shafts.
Regular alignment and maintenance of the couplings guarantee precise and reliable torque measurements.
