Safety instructions
8
S The covering agent or cladding should prevent
squeezing or shearing and provide protection against
parts that might come loose.
S Covering agents and cladding must be positioned at a
suitable distance or be so arranged that there is no
access to any moving parts within.
S Covering agents and cladding must still be attached
even if the moving parts of the torque flange are
installed outside people's movement and working
range.
The only permitted exceptions to the above requirements
are if the torque flange is already fully protected by the
design of the machine or by existing safety precautions.
Additional safety precautions
The torque flange cannot (as a passive transducer)
implement any (safety‐relevant) cutoffs. This requires
additional components and constructive measures, for
which the installer and operator of the plant is responsi
ble. The electronics conditioning the measurement signal
should be designed so that measurement signal failure
does not subsequently cause damage.
The scope of supply and performance of the transducer
covers only a small area of torque measurement technol
ogy. In addition, equipment planners, installers and oper
ators should plan, implement and respond to safety engi
neering considerations in such a way as to minimize
residual dangers. Pertinent national and local regulations
must be complied with.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety
instructions
The torque flange corresponds to the state of the art and
is reliable. Transducers can give rise to residual dangers
