Chatillon AQM Remote Torque Sensor for use with DFS3 (AQM-0003)

Description

Torque Transducers AQM The Chatillon® AQM series Torque Transducers are designed to operate in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions using strain gauge technology and an accuracy better than 0.3% of full scale is now possible for all detachable AQM Torque Transducers. All AQM Torque Transducers are calibrated in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions tabulated on the NIST calibration certificate. When combined with the DFS3, these rugged and accurate sensors turn your force gauge into a torque measurement device: no need to purchase another gauge. As is the case with the dedicated loadcells, the gauge may be handheld or used in diverse remote configurations with the straight cable of app. 9ft (2.8M) . This configuration also offers the flexibility of having both a force and a torque measurement in a single gauge. This is the unit to select for maximum flexibility: one unit and interchangeable sensors can do it all. The gauge will operate the same as if it were an integral loadcell and all functions will operate normally. It is easy to connect the two external sensors – they both have an ADC inline box, which ensures a stable digital signal and enables the force gauge itself to identify them with a single click. The digital communication offers an improved accuracy and keeps the calibration information stored within the external device, meaning it can be used by other DFS3 gauges without affecting readings. This makes it plug-and-play.

Typical applications: The AQM-0003 extends a compatible force gauge or test stand with accurate torque sensing, suited to closure torque testing, fastener verification, and rotational force QA checks.
