Hello and welcome to our expert talk
on the launch of HBK's latest torque transducer.
Please welcome Jochen Heeg, who is the developer.
And this is Marcella Märtel from the marketing team.
My name is Stefan Kruse, and I am the product manager
responsible for the new T210.
In this video, we would like to tell you
something about this new transducer
and its many different applications.
This newcomer is, as you can see,
a shaft torque transducer, which makes
it a compact and affordable solution
for many different tasks.
Exactly, this new transducer is a true all around solution.
We've been asking customers in what applications
they could imagine using this new sensor,
and we've been getting some really interesting feedback.
So why don't you tell us some examples?
Typically, T210 is suited for test stands of all kinds,
for example, in the automotive industry--
engines, gearboxes, pumps, et cetera.
But there is more than that.
For example, some customers want to use T210 in machines
in production lines.
And one proposal was torque measurement
in a laboratory rig for ice impacts on ship propulsion
shafts.
Wow, this sensor is really versatile.
To be that versatile is surely technical challenge.
Jochen, can you tell us something
about the most important technical specs?
Well, first of all, I can mention the three different
transducer sizes resulting in nine different measurement
ranges, from 0.5 to 200 newton-meter.
And as the second feature --
we have two different outputs, which
is frequency and voltage, which are
really important because they are widely used.
I see.
We all know HBK as manufacturer of precise transducers
and sensors.
So what about the T210?
Jochen, how performant is it really?
I can probably say the T210 is no exception here,
and surely we will leave some impressions.
Well, can you be a bit more specific about it?
Sure.
Just to name some specs, I can tell you
that we have managed to keep the linearity deviation,
including hysteresis below 0.05%,
temperature effects below 0.1% per 10 degrees,
and the standard deviation also below 0.05%.
Wow, that sounds great.
And what about the rotational speed?
I mean, many torque transducers offer this feature as well.
The same here and we improved it.
We now allow for the smallest size up to 30,000 rounds per minute.
And we also have a new encoder system
with up to 512 pulses per rotation
and one reference signal per rotation.
There are a lot of improvements.
Well, you say improvements but improvements
in comparison to what exactly?
Some of you may know HBK's T21WN shaft torque sensor.
And this T210 replaces it in
our torque sensor portfolio.
T210 has been developed completely in Darmstadt
with all the knowledge we have at HBK as one
of the world's best known torque sensor manufacturers.
Production of most of the individual parts
takes place here in Germany.
And finally, the entire assembly, testing and finishing
will be done here in Darmstadt.
What about replacing other shaft torque
transducers, for example, HBK's old T21WN or retrofitting?
No problem at all because we use
the same plug as for the T21, and we
have an identical pinning.
We have the same shaft diameters.
And we have the same width and an identical mounting patterns.
Everything is made for easy transition
if you are using the T21 so far and you
want to change to the T210 now.
And thanks to the standard design,
the T210 can also easily replace any other comparable shaft
torque sensor in many, many cases.
Thank you, Stefan and Jochen.

about the advantages of T210, check out the website.
Of course, you will also find all relevant information,
such as data sheets, CAD files, and instruction manuals.
