Intended Use Torque Sensor Honeywell Torque Sensors are dedicated structures that perform in a predictable and repeatable manner when torque forces are applied. This torque force is translated into a signal voltage by the resistance change of strain gages, which are attached to the torque sensor structure.
Figure 1: Bolting Pattern for Flange Model Torque Sensor Honeywell's TMS 9250 series torque sensors may be operated horizontally, vertically, or at any angle in between, provided the load is applied through the loading axis. All torque sensors in this series have bolt patterns that mate directly to standard DIN companion flanges. When mounted, one of the flanges should be mated to a good quality double flex coupling or a driveshaft arrangement that incorporates universal joints at each end.
The receiver is mounted remotely with the tri-axial cable being the only connection between it and the caliper coupling module. The receiver has holes provided for permanent mounting. Customer shall request appropriate certified drawings from Honeywell before making fixtures for mounting in racks.
008-0738-00 SPM Internal Connection The following table provides detail of internal connection for the SPM. Honeywell does not recommend that the user change these settings/ connections until/unless assisted by the factory. Table and pin connection details are listed as follows:...
Normal Mode Operation Detailed Description Normal Mode Operation The flow of data in the TMS 9250 is subjected to various forms of processing as it passes from input to output. This process is best described by use of a flow chart as follows: The data is transmitted from the rotor at the maximum data rate but the rate has to be slowed down for linearizing and scaling due to the amount of processing required –...
The rate at which the microcontroller can perform the separate linearzing and scaling calculations is the limiting factor in determining the available bandwidth of the TMS 9250. Fast Mode Operation Detailed Description...

VOLATILE setting, therefore recycling the power or performing a soft reset will return the TMS 9250 to NORMAL mode. As an indication to the user that FASTMODE is in operation, the ROTOR ACTIVE light on the lid of the TMS 9250 SPM is de-activated.

The relationship between torque and digital counts can be determined by reference to the parameters held in the TMS 9250. When in FASTMODE, the digital counts received from the rotor are simply piped through to the analog voltage output channel, so the counts...
For users that do not require wide bandwidth, this stair casing will not be a problem and can be eliminated from the measurement by applying a suitable sampling rate at the data acquisition end. Typically, a sampling rate of one quarter of the TMS 9250 DAC update rate (or less) would be sufficient to solve this problem.
3. Calibration 008-0738-00 3. Calibration System Calibration Method The TMS 9250 features nine-point linearization and all calibration are achieved using the following parameters: • #CalSteps • #CalReset • #CalValue1 • #CalValue2 • #CalValue3 • #CalValue4 • #CalValue5 • #CalValue6 •...
This supplement provides information on the operation and specifications of the TMS 9250 SPM with the Remote SHUNT CAL Option. Overview The TMS 9250 SPM with Remote SHUNT CAL option allows the user to remotely activate and deactivate the SHUNT CAL mode via an external switch and cable. Setup The Remote SHUNT CAL option is installed and tested at the factory.
TMS 9250 Torque Measuring System. Filter Operation General Description The digital filter algorithm in the v1.38 firmware and above version of the TMS 9250 is a recursive filter that behaves like an “RC” circuit. It has two user settings, the first being a “level”...
• If the FiltSteps parameter is set to 10, then the output of the TMS 9250 will be incremented towards the input in 10 steps, as follows: 1 / 2(0.1 Nm), 1 / 3(0.1 Nm), 1 / 4(0.1 Nm), 1 / 5(0.1 Nm), . . 1 / 9(0.1 Nm), 1 / 10(0.1 Nm) •...
