Abstract

CENAM developed a torque transfer calibration system with nominal torques defined at 200 N·m and 2 kN·m in order to meet the calibration needs identified for the Metrology Laboratory of the collective transport system "Metro" in Mexico City. Its use is mainly for the calibration of torque meters and low accuracy transducers; design started from that consideration. Integrating mechanical design and control, a functional torque calibration system was built and put into operation.
