Real world signals may carry offset, overshoot, oscillations and noise. They still have to be evaluated appropriately and in an automated manner. A test object requires several measurements and all the results need to be compiled into a single test report. |  | Perception Software - remote control For those users who want to communicate with Perception, or to control connected hardware from within their own application, HBM offers a convenient remote control package that includes two different communication interfaces: RPC and COM. |  | Perception Software - STL (Switchgear) Testing of switchgear devices and fuses requires advanced analysis capabilities to generate reproducible and accurate test results. Real world signals may be distorted, carry noise or spikes, but they still have to be evaluated appropriately. The STLA (Short-Circuit Testing Liaison Agreement) defined methods to unify the evaluation process of signals for HV electrical power equipment. |  | Perception Software - video playback The Perception Video Playback option enables synchronized playback of recorded waveforms and video/audio data streams. Load any Windows compatible video file into Perception and get stunning new information about what is happening in your test. |

It is based on a modified T10F measuring body and also uses the shear stress principle of measurement. The measuring body and the torque introduction part are made from one piece. Its extremely short design takes up less space in the test rig and thus saves money. The high permissible transverse forces allow projecting machine elements to be directly connected. |  | T10FS Torque Flange The T10FS torque flange adds to the outstanding market reputation of the T10F torque flange, extending the range covered to greater accuracy, higher speeds and smaller outside diameters. It is based on a modified T10F measuring body and also uses the shear stress principle of measurement. Available in ranges from 100 N•m up to 10 kN•m. |  | T11F High Speed Torque Flange HBM's T11F measurement flange provides you with the rugged and reliable torque measurement solution - also with very high rotational speeds. Optimized mass moments of inertia for reliable measurement of rotational speed and torque: reducing dynamic moments during acceleration and braking. |  | T12 Digital Torque Flange Uses modern fieldbus systems (CANopen, PROFIBUS DPV1) for connecting directly to PLC automation systems. Provides a frequency & analog output. Fit for use with conventional technologies. |  | T20WN Torque Transducer The T20WN torque flange is specifically designed for measuring static and dynamic torque, rotation speed and angle of rotation in the laboratory, test and inspection sector, as well as in production monitoring and quality assurance. Avaiable in ranges from 0.1 N•m to 200 N•m. |  | T22 Torque Transducer The T22 is an attractively priced transducer for simple torque applications. It comes with integrated electronics; this saves time and costs – no additional, external amplifiers are required for upgrading your measurement chain. Matched couplings are available for all T22 sizes. Its' compact design is perfectly suited for test benches where space is a constraint. |  | T40B Torque Flange Saves space & costs due to its short design. Allows high parasitic loads enabling machine elements to be directly mounted. Has no slip rings or bearings. Available from 50 N·m to 10 kN·m. |  | T40FM Torque Flange The digital torque flange measures highly dynamic processes in the measurement ranges between 15-80 kNm up to a bandwidth of 6 kHz. It has a short design and a very low weight and therefore a small mass moment of inertia. The secure, digital measured value transfer offers high interference immunity and maximum accuracy. Optimally suited for large engine, gear and rolling road test benches. | | Torque Sensors - Slip-Ring |  |  | Slipring assemblies SK5, SK6 and SK12 slip-ring assemblies transfer measurement signals from rotating electrical transducers to stationary measuring systems. |  | T4A Torque Transducer T4A and T4WA-S3 torque transducers are specifically designed for measuring static and dynamic torque, rotation speed and angle of rotation in production monitoring and quality assurance. Transducers can be used both in conjunction with hand-held screwdrivers and motorized screwdrivers, but not with impact screwdrivers. Available in ranges from 5 N•m up to 1 kN•m. |  | T5 Torque Transducer The T5 torque transducer is designed for occasional, simple torque measurement tasks in the laboratory, teaching and testing sector. The cylindrical shaft ends allow torque to be applied without play. Slip-ring transfer allows all industry-standard amplifiers for SG full bridges to be used. Available in ranges from 10 N•m to 200 N•m. |
