Description

The GTS312 static torque sensor utilizes a precision strain gauge bridge bonded to a durable alloy steel sensing element. When torque is applied, the resulting strain produces a millivolt-level output signal proportional to the excitation voltage, enabling accurate measurement for static or slowly rotating shafts. The sensor’s robust flange-type connection facilitates secure mounting and reliable torque transfer.

Engineered for stability, the sensor operates across a wide temperature range from -20°C to +75°C and features built-in overload protection. Its IP65-rated housing protects the internal electronics from dust and water jets, making it suitable for integration into industrial test benches, assembly machinery, and laboratory calibration setups where reliable, repeatable torque data is critical.

Key Features

  • High-Precision Strain Gauge Bridge: Delivers a stable 1.5mV/V nominal output with exceptional ±0.1% F.S. repeatability for reliable data.
  • Robust Alloy Steel Construction: Provides high stiffness, durability, and long-term measurement stability under load.
  • IP65 Environmental Seal: Protects against dust ingress and water jets, ensuring reliable operation in industrial environments.
  • Fast Dynamic Response: ≤100 microsecond response time allows for capturing transient torque events.
  • Dual Bridge Resistance Options: Selectable 350Ω ±10Ω or 700Ω ±10Ω input/output resistance for compatibility with various signal conditioners and DAQ systems.
  • Wide Operating Temperature Range: Functions reliably from -20°C to +75°C, suitable for most indoor and controlled environments.
  • Flange Mounting Design: Simplifies mechanical integration and ensures accurate torque transmission to the sensing element.
  • Optimized Performance-to-Cost Ratio: Offers laboratory-grade accuracy in a durable, industrially-focused package.

Applications

  • Industrial assembly line torque monitoring for screwdriving, fastening, and press-fit operations.
  • Laboratory calibration and testing of motors, gearboxes, and rotary actuators.
  • Integration into mechanical test stands for measuring static shaft torque in R&D applications.
  • Process control and quality assurance in manufacturing where precise torque application is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the required excitation voltage for the GTS312 torque sensor?

The GTS312 sensor requires a DC excitation voltage between 5 and 10 volts. The standard sensitivity is 1.5mV per volt of excitation, so a 10V supply will yield a 15mV full-scale output. It is critical to use a stable, low-noise power source for the bridge to ensure accurate signal measurement.

What do the dual resistance options (350Ω or 700Ω) mean for wiring?

The sensor is available with either a 350Ω ±10Ω or 700Ω ±10Ω strain gauge bridge. You must select the model matching your signal conditioner or data acquisition system's input requirements. The higher 700Ω bridge typically draws less current, while the 350Ω option may offer better noise immunity in certain long-cable industrial environments.

Can this sensor measure dynamic or high-speed rotating torque?

No, the GTS312 is designed specifically for static or discontinuous (slowly rotating) torque measurement applications. Its flange mounting and internal design are optimized for setups where the shaft is stationary or rotates intermittently, not for continuous high-speed rotation. For rotating torque, a rotary torque transducer with slip rings or wireless telemetry is required.

How do I interface the sensor's mV output with a PLC or DAQ system?

The sensor's low-level mV/V output requires a signal conditioner or amplifier. You will need an instrument amplifier or a dedicated strain gauge input module on your PLC/DAQ to amplify, filter, and convert the differential millivolt signal into a standard 0-10V, 4-20mA, or digital communication signal like RS485 for long-distance transmission and system integration.
