Structure and mode of operation
The torque flange consists of two separate parts: the rotor and the stator. The
rotor comprises the measuring body and the signal transmission elements.
Strain gauges (SGs) are installed on the measuring body. The rotor electron
ics for transmitting the bridge excitation voltage and the measurement signal
are located centrally in the flange. The transmitter coils for contactless trans
mission of excitation voltage and measurement signal are located on the
measuring body's outer circumference. The signals are sent and received by
a separable antenna ring. The antenna ring is mounted on a housing that con
tains the electronics for voltage adaptation and the signal conditioning.
Connector plugs for the torque and speed signals, the voltage supply and
digital output, are located on the stator. The antenna segments (ring) should
be mounted more or less concentrically around the rotor (see chapter 4).

Mechanical construction without a rotational speed measuring system
The speed sensor is mounted on the stator in Option 6 with a rotational speed
measuring system. The rotational speed is measured magnetically with an
AMR sensor and a magnetic ring. The magnetic ring for measurement of rota
tional speed is welded to the flange.
