Design of a counter torque device used in a torque standard machine = Erzeugung des gegendrehmoments in einer drehmoment-normalmesseinrichtung

Abstract

In the last years, the increase in the need of higher accuracy in science, research and technology in precision engineering created an obligation to produce a new torque standard machine for precise measurement of torque. This thesis deals with the design and implementation of a Counter Torque Device which will be used in a new Torque Standard Machine based on moving mass developed in the faculty of precision engineering at the TU Ilmenau. This new Torque Standard Machine must have a measuring range from 1 mNm to 1 Nm and a lower relative uncertainty Ur :S 1x1O-5 (k = 2). In order to achieve this aim, the fundamentals and the state of the art are shown at the beginning of the thesis. After the specific requirements are compiled in a requirements list, then based on physical and technical principles different possible solutions are developed and evaluated, from this evaluation optimal solution is founded, implemented and tested.
