Magtrol’s conditioners and displays are used for processing and displaying measurements from signals generated by transducers (weight, load, pressure, torque, etc.) that use standard strain-gauge bridges, such as Magtrol’s load measuring pins, load-force-weight sensors and strain transducers.

To complete your displacement measurement system Magtrol offers the CST 113 Signal Converter, designed specifically for transducers delivering a signal of 4 to 20 mA. Either a voltage-based signal (I/U conversion) or a current-based signal (I/I) can be chosen as the converter output, along with signal inversion if required. A large variety of offset and gain values can be selected, matching all sorts of specific applications. The use of micro switches (DIP switches) and potentiometers enable easy on-site adjustments and the independent settings make it possible to calibrate the CST 113 in one displacement, from the minimal to the maximum position of the jack.

Like the Hysteresis Brake, the Magtrol Hysteresis Clutch develops torque strictly through a magnetic air-gap, ensuring an absolutely smooth transmission of torque from the drive unit to the driven element. Designed to be powered without the use of brushes or slip rings, and being a pure hysteresis device, there is never any fear of contamination due to wear particles or leaky seals. This makes Magtrol Hysteresis Clutches and Brakes ideal for use in food processing and clean room environments.

With its compact, bearingless, maintenance-free design, the new TF Torque Flange Sensor from Magtrol brings many appealing advantages to torque measurement applications. The TF’s high torsional rigidity supports direct mounting on the machine shaft or flange, avoiding the use of couplings on one side. This allows easy integration into a test system, shortens the overall length of the test bench and reduces costs.

Magtrol’s Model DSP7000 High-Speed Programmable. Dynamometer Controller employs state-of-the-art Digital Signal Processing Technology to provide superior motor testing capabilities. Designed for use with any Magtrol Hysteresis, Eddy-Current or Powder Brake Dynamometer, Magtrol In-Line Torque Transducer or auxiliary instrumentation, the DSP7000 can provide complete PC control via IEEE-488 or RS-232 interface. With up to 500 readings per second, the DSP7000 is ideally suited for both the test lab and the production line.
