The M211-114 Torque/Thrust Sensor, originally designed for use in tire rubber testing rheometers, is ideally suited for applications where low torque levels need to be measured in the presence of relatively high compression loads and temperature extremes. The M211-114 features low inertial mass and high stiffness in both axes. Overall height is 1.4 inches, and the diameter is 1.75 inches. Standard capacities are 50 lb-in of torque and 2,000 lb of thrust and 100 lb-in of torque and 2,500 lb of thrust. Other capacities can be quoted upon request. The M211-114 can be used with AC carrier and DC strain gage signal conditioning electronics. Interconnecting cable assemblies are available as an option. SensorData will provide in-house calibration of the M211-114 with customer-supplied electronics for a fee.
