Safety information
8 A3276-8.0 HBM: public T40FM
S The covering agent or cladding should prevent
squeezing or shearing and provide protection against
parts that might come loose.
S Covering agents and cladding must be positioned at a
suitable distance or be so arranged that there is no
access to any moving parts within.
S Covering agents and cladding must still be attached
even if the moving parts of the torque flange are in
stalled outside people's movement and working range.
The only permitted exceptions to the above requirements
are if the torque flange is already fully protected by the
design of the machine or by existing safety precautions.
Additional safety precautions
The torque flange cannot (as a passive transducer) im
plement any (safety-relevant) cutoffs. This requires addi
tional components and constructive measures, for which
the installer and operator of the plant is responsible. The
electronics conditioning the measurement signal should
be designed so that measurement signal failure does not
subsequently cause damage.
The scope of supply and performance of the transducer
covers only a small area of torque measurement techno
logy. In addition, equipment planners, installers and oper
ators should plan, implement and respond to safety en
gineering considerations in such a way as to minimize
residual dangers. Pertinent national and local regulations
must be complied with.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety
instructions
The torque flange corresponds to the state of the art and
is reliable. Transducers can give rise to residual dangers
if they are incorrectly operated or inappropriately moun
