These more unusual applications all demand highly dynamic sensor performance through high resolution/precision measurement with high sampling rates and mechanical durability. The dental implant application measures ultra-low torque measurement around 15 to 50 Ncm at speeds up to 2000 rpm as part of a strict no-compromise surgical procedure. The desk fan evaluation measures bidirectional static and dynamic torque to ensure optimal performance in motor selection and fan design during the development phase of the product. Similarly the Bowden cable transmitted force measurement application helps cable designers ensure best performance for a range of cable diameter and radius of curvature simulated test set-ups.

The 8661 series torque sensor has a 0 … ±10 V output signal or optional USB interface for use with Burster’s DigiVision date acquisition PC software which also includes DLL and LabVIEW drivers. Available in several single range models from 0 … 0.02 Nm up to 0 … 1000 Nm as well as dual-range versions, the sensor can also be supplied with a 2000-line encoder to provide precise speed feedback as well as angular displacement to 0.09°. The 8417 series miniature cylindrical load cell covers measuring ranges from 0 … 10 N to 0 … 5 k for tension or compression force between its axially mounted metric exterior threads.

Burster’s wide range of sensor electronics extends to amplifier and transmitter modules, process control instruments, digital indicators, and more. As the exclusive UK and Ireland distribution partner for Burster GmbH and other globally leading sensor manufacturers, Ixthus Instrumentation Ltd provides a comprehensive measurement service from component level solutions to complete instrumentation systems.
