In addition, a lever-operated slider with travel stops makes engaging and disengaging samples quick and efficient. The standard system has a capacity of 11,5 Nm which can be upgraded to 22 Nm (requires a torque sensor with a higher capacity). It connects to the i5 Indicator by AC1108 multi-function cable and to a PC by AC1104 cable which are included in this test setup.

Features of the CAP-TSTM-DC include:

Full PC control
Programmable angle limits and cycling
Auto return
Password protection
A torque loading plate with tapped holes for grip and custom fixture mounting and a resettable angle indicator.

The Model-5I Advanced Digital Force/Torque Indicator is designed to work with a variation of Plug & Test® Force and Torque sensors. In this test setup it is connected to the R50 torque sensor. With its sampling rate of 7000Hz, an accuracy of ±0,1% of full scale, a memory up to 1000 measurements with statistical calculations, average force over time, external trigger modes and data output the M5I Indicator is well equipped to perform virtually any task that is possible with this test setup.

The R50 Series Universal Torque Sensors used for this setup measure in both directions with a capacity range from 7 to 1150 Ncm. It has a chuck size range of 1,6 to 12,7 mm (depending on the capacity) and connects to the I5 Indicator using the Plug & Test® connector.

This test setup comes with MESUR^® Lite data acquisition software. MESUR^® Lite tabulates continuous or single point data. One-click export to Excel allows for further data manipulation. An extended version of this program, MESUR^®gauge or MESUR^®gauge+ are available as an option.

Plug & Test® Smart Force & Torque Sensors

General information

Mark-10 M7I, M5I, and M3I indicators are used in combination with Plug & Test® sensors and can therefore accommodate numerous force and torque measurement requirements, from 1 N to 50 kN (0.25 to 10,000 lbF) of force, and from 7 Ncm to 550 Nm (10 ozFin to 5,000 lbFin) of torque.

Plug & Test® sensors can be used handheld or mounted to a fixture or test stand for more accurate and repeatable testing results.
The sensors are separately calibrated therefore they can be disconnected from one indicator and connected to another without the need for re-calibration or re-configuration as this is stored in the PCB located inside the smart connector.

Accuracy

System accuracy is determined by the combination of Indicator and sensor combined. To determine the total system accuracy the accuracy value of the sensor is added to the value of the indicator.
As the Indicators have different accuracy values the total system accuracy may vary between the different indicator/sensor combinations. Indicator Model Accuracy M7I / M5I ±0,1% of full scale M3I ±0,2% of full scale.

Example 1 Model MR01-100 sensor with Model M5I Indicator MR01-100 ±0,15% of full scale + M5I ±0,1% of full scale = Total ±0,25% of full scale This translates into a fixed error of up to: 0,25% x 500 N = 1,25 N

Example 2 Model MR50-50Z sensor with Model M3I Indicator MR50-50Z ±0,35% of full scale + M3I ±0,2% of full scale = Total ±0,55% of full scale This translates into a fixed error of up to: 0,55% x 50 Ncm = 0,275 Ncm

Because accuracy is defined as a percentage of full scale, the fixed error is possible anywhere on the scale from 0 to the capacity. As such, this value represents an increasingly large error as percentage of reading towards the low end of the scale. It is, therefore, recommended that a sensor is selected with capacity as close as possible to the expected load. The resolution may be different for some sensors depending on whether a M7I, M5I, or M3I indicator is being used. For example, a Series R01 force sensor will display finer resolution when connected to a M5I indicator than when connected to a M3I indicator.
