Digital Torque Switch Transducer (TST)
Description
Overview
The Torque Switch Transducer (TST) uses a rotary encoder to measure angular movement of the torque switch during actuator operation.
- Magnetically mounted
- 360-degree range
- ASSIST enabled
- Measures torque switch rotation
- Measures spring pack displacement on actuators with geared torque switch
- The angular movement is directly proportional to the amount of spring pack compression
- Rotational movement can be translated to inches of axial spring pack displacement using a calculation incorporating the physical dimensions of the torque switch gear. The output signature is similar to that of the DMT
- The TST mounts on the torque switch center shaft and is secured in position with the torque switch limiter plate screw and a mounting rod
- Mounting hardware allowing easy installation on most operators is provided
