New interface module for torque transducers

Datum Electronics' Series M420 of torque transducers has received a technical boost with the introduction of the 400 series interface module.

The new interface module allows the user to receive the data in a simple, efficient and reliable manner.

It provides a selection of outputs 4- 20mA, +/-10VDC, RS232, RS485 and USB, accommodating analogue options, USB or faster data in one simple package. This can be integrated into all of Datum Electronics' standard torque, speed and power measurement systems, including rotary torque transducers, shaft and power measurement kits, marine torsion meter systems and custom shaft power measurement solutions.

The M420 has been designed to fit with most applications and solutions that require rotary torque measurements.

The torque transducer fits inline with the drive train using standard keyway shafts. A non contact transmission provides a serial output directly proportional to torque.
