Torque transducer.


A torque transducer transducer, device that accepts an input of energy in one form and produces an output of energy in some other form, with a known, fixed relationship between the input and output.  has been introduced for the RPA RPA Remote Patron Authentication

 2000 rubber process analyzer. This transducer is said to be able to measure the characterization of low viscosity melts. The RPA, which is said to provide precise and repeatable data on elastomeric polymers and compounds, conventionally has a torque range from 0.05 to 20 Nm. This torque range, which is suitable for rubber, rubber compounds and high viscosity materials, was not suitable for adhesives and softer rubber compounds such as silicones, which require greater sensitivity. The company has designed a torque transducer suitable for viscoelastic Adj. 1. viscoelastic - having viscous as well as elastic properties
natural philosophy, physics - the science of matter and energy and their interactions; "his favorite subject was physics"
 flow characterization and cured property characterization of many materials, including pressure sensitive adhesives Pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA, self adhesive, self stick adhesive) is adhesive that forms a bond when pressure is applied to marry the adhesive with the adherend. No solvent, water, or heat is needed to activate the adhesive. , 100% reactive adhesives, polyolefins, thermoplastic elastomers, PVC PVC: see polyvinyl chloride.

 and PVC compounds, and ABS. When fitted to a standard RPA 2000, the transducer is said to allow full functionality of the equipment, but offers a lower torque range from 0.005 to 3.0 Nm. An optional automation system is also available from the company. (Alpha Technologies)
