Study on Eliminating the Effect of Bending Moment in Torque Measurement

Abstract:

The function characteristics of bending moment and torque were analyzed based on the principle of torque measurement and the adverse effect of bending moment to torque measurement was proved theoretically. By distributing the positions of resistance strain gauge on the transmission shaft and the relative positions in the bridge, an effective method of eliminating the adverse effect of bending moment was proposed base on the principle of superposition and counterbalance in the bridge, and the potential errors were analyzed and corrected. Then the proposed method was applied in measuring the torque of a motor shaft. The result shows that the effect of bending moment has been eliminated, and this method is feasible and effective.
