LOAD-CARRYING CAPACITY
The T210 can be used to measure static and dynamic torques.
Nominal (rated) torque can be exceeded statically up to the torque limit. If the nominal
torque is exceeded, additional irregular loading is not permissible. This includes axial
force and lateral forces and bending moments. The limit values can be found in chapter
10 "Specifications", page 22.

Measuring dynamic torque
When measuring dynamic torques, please note:
S
The calibration performed for static torques is also valid for dynamic torque measure
ments.
Notice
The frequency of the dynamically acting torques must be lower than the natural fre
quency of the mechanical measuring arrangement.
