Displacements - alignment of the torque measuring shaft
The displacement figures specified in table 4 provide for sufficient safety to compensate for external influences
like, for example, thermal expansion or foundation settling.
!
In order to ensure a long service life of the measuring shaft, the shaft ends have to be
accurately aligned. Please absolutely observe the displacement figures specified (see table
4). If the figures are exceeded, the measuring shaft with coupling will be damaged.
Please note:
• The displacement figures specified in table 4 are maximum figures which must not arise in parallel. If axial,
radial and angular displacement arises at the same time, these values must be reduced (see illustration 9).
• Inspect with a dial gauge, ruler or feeler gauge whether the permissible displacement figures specified in table
4 can be observed.

Assembly of the RADEX®-NC on the DATAFLEX® torque measuring shaft
49015 EN

The power transmission of RADEX®-NC is frictionally engaged by clamping hubs.
The following process should be observed with the assembly:
• Clean and degrease the contact surfaces of hub bores and shafts before assembly.
!
Oils and greases containing molybdenum disulfide or other high-pressure additives as well
as internal lubricants must not be used.
• Lightly unscrew the clamping screws.
• Insert the shaft ends of the measuring shaft and the driving and driven end into the hubs of the RADEX ®-NC
coupling (see illustration 10).
• Shift the driving and driven machine in axial direction until the dimension E resp. DBSE is reached. If the
power packs have already been firmly assembled, shifting the hubs axially on the shafts allows for adjusting
the dimension E or DBSE (see illustration 11).
!
When tightening the clamping screws make sure that the torque measuring shaft is not
loaded and the hazard of bending or overload by torque can be excepted.
Illustration 10: Assembly of clamping hubs
!
Illustration 11: Adjusting to dimension E and DBSE
With the assembly make sure that the dimension E resp. DBSE (see table 3 and 6) is
observed so that the coupling is installed free from distortion in axial direction. Disregarding
this advice may cause damage to the coupling.
• Tighten the clamping screws of the hub at the tightening torque TA specified in table 5.
!
The torques of the clamping hubs of the coupling transmitted via frictional locking are
dependent on the bore diameter.

Advice for assembly of the DATAFLEX® torque measuring shaft
• Fixing the housing
!
!
The housing must be protected from rotation. For that purpose there is a thread size M4
at the bottom side. Make absolutely sure to avoid rigid fixing of the housing!
Opening the housing is not required and may cause damage to the measuring shaft.
• Level of protection
All DATAFLEX® measuring shafts type 32 correspond to protection class IP51 according to DIN EN 60529.
• Maintenance
The DATAFLEX® measuring shaft is maintenance-free. Lubrication or cleaning is not necessary.
• Calibration
The transducer is calibrated when supplied. We recommend an annual inspection of the calibration.

1. General description
The measuring shafts type DATAFLEX® 32 are provided with wire strain gauges (DMS) the signals of which
are transmitted contactlessly.
In addition, a two-channel shaft encoder provides two speed signals shifted by 90 degrees. Each signal has a
resolution of 720 periods per revolution. The measuring shaft is connected to the connection housing DF2 via
the connection cable which is available as an accessory.

The measuring shaft should not be switched on before all connections have been properly
connected. After initial switch-on the measuring shaft needs about 5 minutes until the
warm-up period is finished and the measurement device has its standard accuracy.
2. Connection housing DF2
The connection housing DF2 has 12 screw terminals to connect power supply, display equipment and switches.
The torque signal is displayed as proportional direct voltage from -10 … 10 V.
For the speed display two square wave signals, one scalable voltage signal and one direction signal are available
(for pin configuration see table 10).
The button T1 serves for programming and can be bridged externally from GND via the terminal 12 (T1).

Outputs N-U and R/L
The KTR connection housing DF2 has an integrated f/U
converter which converts the square wave signals of the
encoder into a linear DC voltage output (terminal N-U)
and generates an additional signal for the rotational
direction (terminal R/L).
On the bottom side of the connection housing DF2 there
is a sixfold multiple switch allowing to adapt the scaling
of the speed signal to the type of measuring shaft and
the speed range (see illustration 19 and 27).

Special functions
The following settings can be made by means of sensors:
1) Self-test
2) Measuring range switchover
3) Automatic zero adjustment
4) Manual zero adjustment
For safety reasons the settings „1) self-test“ and „2) measuring range switchover“ can only be made up to 15
seconds after powering up. „3) Automatic zero adjustment“ and „4) manual zero adjustment“ can only be made
from 15 seconds after powering up.
The termination of the 15 seconds period is signalized by short blinking of the LEDs on the connection housing.
Illustration 29
5.1
Sensor test
The torque sensor can be inspected for operativeness if the sensor T2 is pressed for 2 seconds during the first
15 seconds after powering up the measuring shaft. If the sensor is fine, the output voltage increases to approx. 4
volts for the period of 2 seconds. The output voltage increases to approx -10 volts for 2 seconds in the measuring
range 2.

• The sensor test can only be performed during the first 15 seconds after powering up.

7
The measuring range can be switched over within the first 15 seconds after powering up the supply voltage. For
that purpose press the button T1 on the connection housing DF2 during 2 seconds. The selected measuring
range is displayed by green LEDs on DF2.
Green LEDs off
= measuring range 1 (e. g. 100 Nm)
Green LEDs permanently on = measuring range 2 (e. g. 20 Nm)
The selected measuring range remains set after powering on again.
5.3
Automatic zero adjustment (see illustration 22)
If the „push button“ T1 is activated for a period of 2 seconds, the output of the torque signal is automatically set to
0 Volt. The adjusting is effected irrespective of the amount of the actual torque.
The termination of the adjustment is confirmed by fast blinking of the LED L1. The new zero point has been saved
and the device is in the measuring mode again.

• The automatic zero adjustment can only be performed if the measuring shaft is switched
on for more than 15 seconds.
• If necessary, the automatic zero adjustment can be performed by an external control, too.
If the potential of the terminal clamp T1 is connected with GND for 2 seconds, an
automatic zero adjustment is performed.
Illustration 31: Automatic zero adjustment
5.4
Manual zero adjustment
The zero point of the torque output can be manually adjusted. For this purpose both push buttons T1 and T2 are
activated simultaneously for 2 seconds. The LED L1 is blinking four times.
Pressing the push button T1 increases the voltage, pressing the push button T2 reduces the voltage. The
modifications are accelerated if the corresponding push button is permanently pressed. Each amendment is
confirmed by short blinking of the LED L2.
Having performed the adjusting the new values are stored lastingly by pressing both push buttons again for
2 seconds. The LED L1 is illuminated once and signalizes the return to the measuring mode.
The manual zero adjustment can be set separately for the two measuring ranges. The zero point of the range that
is currently activated is generally adjusted.

Maintenance and service
DATAFLEX® is a low-maintenance torque measuring shaft. We recommend to perform a visual inspection on the
torque measuring shaft at least once a year. Pay special attention to the condition, alignment and screw
connection of the torque measuring shaft and the condition of the laminae sets of the RADEX®-NC or RADEX®-N
coupling.
!
Having started up the torque measuring shaft the tightening torques of the screws have to
be inspected during the usual inspection intervals.
