TORQUE MEASURMENT

Torque
Motion in which an entire object
moves is called translation.
Motion in which an object spins is
called rotation.
The point or line about which an
object turns is its center of
rotation.
An object can rotate and
translate.

Torque Measurement
The test machine measures torque and angle of
the shaft.
There are three sensors on the machine. Load
cell measures force in tension and compression.
Two encoders measure angle of two shafts.
The torque is product of load value measured by
load cell and radius and cos .
The angle is difference of two angles
measured by two encoders.
The force is 10000 kg (100KN), Angle is from 0
to 90
The load increases from 0 to 100KN and back to
0 and angle from 0 to 90.
The cycle time is 12 sec.

Torque Measurement Sequence

Connect Load cell and two encoder to data acquisition
card
Read signal from sensors
Display data in table form and graph form (torque v/s
angle ) on line.
Storing data in database for future offline data retrieval
and graphs.
Offline graph to have facility for displaying data of multiple
samples
Store and retrieve, modify sample details.
2-3 reports
All reports will have options for print-preview, print and
export to other formats like
HTML and PDF.
Database backup and restore facility
Login screen for access control to the system.
