For Greater Control

More Versatile Potential Application

Ranges to 200,000 lb.-ft.

This digital wireless telemetry system supplies power to the rotating sensor, supports two-way communications and provides wide testing capabilities. More than a stand-alone sensor, the specially designed TMS 9250 is a complete torque measurement system, with standard analog, frequency and digital outputs. Fully software driven, the durable TMS 9250 utilizes a custom 19-bit digital wireless telemetry system, which maximizes resolution and frequency response while also being able to provide excitation power across the wireless gap. System set-up can be changed “on-the-fly” without affecting calibration. The TMS 9250 can be expanded for future market needs by using standard PC104 cards.

TMS 9250 Series torque sensors perform well under tough conditions. For years sensor operators in varied applications have acknowledged the enhanced accuracy, durability and quality built into each sensor. TMS 9250 Series sensors can be tailored to specific applications for even greater versatility with capacities up to 200,000 lb.-ft.

• No hoop antenna
• System error < 0.05% FS
• High torsional stiffness
• High overload capability
• Low rotating inertia
• Variety of mating flange designs
• Custom designs available

The rotor electronics module is encapsulated to enhance protection against vibration, G Force and chemicals.

• The rotating antenna is comprised of an annular printed circuit board, peripherally or centrally mounted on the rotor.
• Four layer construction ensures enhanced strength with no exposed tracks in the outer region. • IP65 caliper-style coupling module with die cast aluminum casing. Provides power transmission and signal recovery with BNC connector for coaxial cable.

The software at the heart of the TMS 9250 system is designed to offer flexibility and adaptability. The software puts the operator fully in control and can be tailored to the test conditions required at the time.
Standard or custom set ups can be saved to parameter files and recalled at any time. Input scaling and output scaling is independent, providing a wider application advantage. The software-driven SPM (Signal Processing Module) is offered with five standard interfaces.
Consult the factory for availability of optional interfaces such as: CAN-open, Ethernet and USB, and PC104 expansion cards. The software flexibility allows single or multiple sensors to share the same wireless telemetry link,
with digital output as standard, or with multi-channel digital-to-analog available as an option.

The SPM contains two separate microprocessors to share data processing and communications. Calibration is all digital, via RS232/485 link, eliminating potentiometers or dip switches. The durable unit has an external BNC connector for the RF coaxial cable, internal 2-part plug and socket connectors for output signals, digital communication and DC power. The SPM external housing also features a “SHUNT CAL” button and LED’s to indicate “Power ON”, “Rotor Active” and “SHUNT CAL Mode”. Because of these enhanced technologies, the end result is a true advancement in telemetry-based torque systems.

• Rotor Electronics Module. This is embedded in the sensor and receives and conditions the input signal before transmitting it to the SPM.
• Signal Processing Module (SPM). This device integrates two microprocessors to share data processing and communications. It recovers the signal from the rotor, provides scaling and filtering, and offers a variety of outputs, compatible with various data acquisition systems.
• PC104 expansion. This option allows the operator functionality beyond the hardware and software provided.
