Small high-rigidity torque detector
RHシリーズ

Expand 'hakar' and measure the torque of various products.

In the automotive industry, electrification is rapidly advancing, and many types of motors are being used, requiring motors that minimize cogging torque and torque ripple, which can cause vibration and noise.

Therefore, a highly rigid torque detector that can accurately capture torque fluctuations is necessary. On the other hand, there is an increasing demand for high-speed specifications in motors for EV scooters and air conditioning compressors overseas.

We have developed a torque detector that can meet these demands.

Features

High rigidity: Good responsiveness and capable of accurately capturing torque fluctuations.

In the automotive industry, as electrification rapidly advances and many motors are used, motors that minimize cogging torque and torque ripple, which cause vibration and noise, are in demand. Therefore, a highly rigid torque detector that can accurately capture torque fluctuations is required.
The RH series achieves approximately 4.5 times the torsional rigidity compared to our products, allowing for accurate measurement of torque fluctuations.

Comparison of data between the RH series and general low-stiffness torque detectors.

This is an example of measuring torque fluctuations of the RH torque detector and a general low-stiffness torque detector using the CF-9400A FFT analyzer.

  • Data comparison No.1 between the RH series and general low-stiffness torque detectors.
  • Data comparison between the RH series and general low-stiffness torque detectors No. 2

The above graph shows the frequency analysis results of torque fluctuations for the RH torque detector and a typical low-stiffness torque detector.
Because the RH torque detector has higher torsional stiffness compared to the typical low-stiffness torque detector, it can raise the device's resonance frequency, allowing for accurate measurement of the torque that is originally intended to be measured (in this case, torque ripple caused by the primary component of cogging torque).
Additionally, the RH torque detector has achieved smoother and flatter measurements up to higher frequencies.

High-speed rotation: Capable of supporting rotational speeds up to 20,000 r/min.

There is a growing demand for high-speed rotation in motors for applications such as EV scooters and air conditioning compressors. The RH series can measure rotation speeds up to 20,000 r/min, which is about 2.5 times higher than our previous models, allowing for stable measurements from low to high speeds.

Direct output: optimal for device integration without a counter.

Traditionally, it was necessary to use a torque detector in combination with a computing display unit, but now it is possible for the torque detector to output signals independently. This contributes to cost reduction.

High precision: It is possible to conduct performance evaluation tests for motors accurately.

The linearity including hysteresis can correspond to ±0.05 % FS (compared to our company 1/2), allowing for high-precision measurements.
High precision: It is possible to conduct performance evaluation tests of motors and other devices with high accuracy.
For EPS motors, an accuracy of 1% is required relative to the torque capacity.
Furthermore, the torque detector requires one additional decimal place.
(If the torque capacity is set at 6N·m, then 0.1% of 6N·m = 0.006N·m.
For a torque detector with a torque capacity of 10N·m, the accuracy will be 0.06% FS.)
We have developed a torque detector that meets this requirement.

Miniaturization: Due to miniaturization, the mass and volume are approximately 1/3 (compared to our company).

The product has become very easy to handle due to its miniaturization, lightweight design, counterless feature, and uniform center height, making replacement simple.
