AIR BEARING DEVELOPED FOR TORQUE CALIBRATION TO PROTECT DISTURBING EFFECTS TO REFERENCE TRANSDUCERS

Paul Hohmann

Abstract

World-wide we handle high precision transducers in the quantity torque as well as force for comparisons in measurement. These transducers are used as a reference in calibration machines, also. Here the disturbing effects caused by specimen the directly coupled, are responsible for a loss in accuracy. At primary torque standard machines air bearings guarantee the precision of the torque value produced by beam mass combination. Air bearings are responsible to keep the precision of torque calibration machines.
