Series CF2700X Torque Transmitters provide static and dynamic torque feedback from a motor or its’ load.  The device whose torque is being sensed must have a mounting meeting NEMA C-Face standards or a suitable adapter.  They are strain gage based sensors and will measure torque whether the shaft is rotating or stationary.  Characterized by high stiffness and very low deflection and they are bidirectional.  Since they measure the reaction torque, the torque path should be through the sensor only.

Simple, Low Cost Installation

The sensor fits between a C-Face motor and load.  When the load shaft is female, use the optional coupling shaft.  When the load shaft is male, use a conventional double-flex coupling.  Nothing else is needed for mechanical installation.

CF2700X Torque Transmitters

The CF2700X Transmitter outputs a 4-20mA or 12±8mA current, user selectable.  It uses 2-wires; +power and power return.  Power input is a single, unregulated, fused and reverse polarity protected dc supply.  If needed, Himmelstein’s Series 700 Instruments provide power, engineering unit display, classify torque, capture max/mins, interface a PC and much more.  Specify the Model 706 for a CF2700X.
