GENERAL
The IRTT-B transducer provides torque measurement on a rotary
transducer, with optional angle reading.
The torque measurement is performed with a precise extensometer
bridge with special brushes to transfer the signal from the rotating
shaft to the housing; these brushes have been developed to be very
reliable and should not have the need of any maintenance through
out its life.
The angle reading is performed with a rotating magnetic sensor
providing 1024 pulses per revolution.
A built in memory stores identification and calibration data for
automatic reading from the measurement instrument.
TECHNICAL
• Torque Measurement Range: 1 ÷ 5000 Nm
• Angle (optional): 1024 pulses per turn
• Static accuracy: ± 0.25% of rated max. transducer capacity
• Overload capacity: 125% of rated max. transducer capacity
• Temperature stability: 0.1% of capacity / °C
• Bridge resistance: 350 ohm
• Operation humidity: 10-75% non condensing
• Operating temperature: 5 to 40°C
The transducer comes with Atlas Copco BLM calibration
certificate.
The calibration data is marked on the transducer label (when
installing the item always use this data, not the nominal values)

OPERATIONS
Select the correct transducer having a torque capacity not less than
the maximum torque capacity of the tool used. Secure the tool
output spindle to the transducer input socket (hexagon shaft). Fit
the correct socket to the transducer output square drive (or bit in
bit-holder) and make sure it is secured.
Connect the transducer to the measuring instrument with the proper
cable. If you use an ACTA instrument the calibration data will be
loaded automatically and no manual entering of the value is
required.
If you use another measuring instrument the transducer shunt
calibration value and the angle pulses must be entered manually.
The shunt calibration value is marked on the transducer, the bridge
impedance is 350 Ohm and a 43,575 Ohm resistor is necessary.
Make sure to align the tool/transducer, to avoid any influence from
side forces which may affect the measurement.
If a tool is tested with a reaction bar the effective radial position of
the reaction bar point should not be less than a certain value (see
the next table and figure); not observing this requirement and to
exceed the maximum torque rating may cause a permanent damage
to the transducer.
