The T231 is designed for in-line testing of small motors, pumps, compressors, turbines, fans, and other fractional horsepower rated devices. The T231 rotary transformer requires the use of AC strain gage signal conditioning electronics such as SensorData’s i200. The T231 is supplied with a foot mount as standard. The optional zero velocity speed sensor is installed inside the T231 housing. Interconnecting cable assemblies are available as an option. SensorData will provide in-house calibration of the T231 with customer-supplied electronics for a fee.
