High dynamic torque measurements
• Dynamical parts are filtered out, because of air gap damping and rotor inertia
• Current measurement shows changes with delay
• If motor is switched of, torque measuring is impossible but torques might be
still high
• Due to the dynamic structure of the spring mass system, the torques in the air
gap maybe completely different to the ones at the gearbox input or output shaft
torque at motor shaft, measured by strain gauges (in blue) shows true dynamic
and peak loads compared to calculated motor torque (in black)

• Torque signals are classified online by rainflow counting and load duration
distribution (LDD) counting and results are stored once a day.
• Results are used by engineering departments for calculation of application
factors and fatigue life calculation for gears, shafts and bearings.

• Directly after the alarm situation (high torque event, high dynamic event), the
system automatically sends out an email to the responsible persons via the
cRSP Servers. The receiver addresses can be freely configured and are not
limited.
• Alarms can be transferred by different software protocols to the automation
system. Software engineering for linkage with the automation system can be
ordered as an option.
• For calibrating the torque signal the so called electrical shunt calibration is done
as a standard. In this method, based on E-Modulus of the shaft material and the
geometry, a shunt resistance value is calculated that simulates a Wheatstone
bridge signal of the nominal torque. Typically the torque signal accuracy is better
then 8% of the nominal gearbox torque.
• If higher accuracy is needed a mechanical calibration has to be done that need
further engineering an time.
• Even if the strain gauges are glued geometrically very exactly, a temperature
related zero point drift cannot be avoided, because of the temperature sensitivity
of all electrical components. The deviations typically stay within the 8% accuracy.
• Service life of strain gauge applications is restricted be the glue and surrounding
environment. The service life is typically higher then 5 years.
• Siemens assumes no liability for the strain gauge application.
