FUTEK TTF400 Reaction Torque Sensor

Click2Contact

Futek’s TTF400 Reaction Torque Sensor can be used for hinge fatigue testing, demonstrating how test and measurement professionals are able to replicate the stress hinges undergo by mimicking up to 100,000 times the movements the hinge will undergo in real-life scenarios.

Torque hinges, friction hinges and position hinges are all synonyms for a type of hinge that allows two parts to rotate around one another when a load is applied. With a wide range of uses, fatigue and cycle testing must be performed to verify the hinge lifespan when integrated into a product. FUTEK’s reaction torque sensor gives auditors the results they require for determining the lifespan of a hinge.

The sensor utilises metal foil strain gauge technology and has a capacity of 0.04 to 56 Nm. It is constructed in aluminium and features overload protection for low-capacity units, which helps to prevent overload damage that may occur during installation. Optional mounting plates are available.

The sensor easily integrates into OEM applications and is suitable for many and varied applications — hinge fatigue testing is just one of them.
