Torque Sensor (Transducer)

Torque sensors (transducers) use a strain gage to convert torsion (surface shearing stress) corresponding to the torque of the shaft to an electric quantity (voltage), and then output signals through a rotary transformer, optical transmission, or a slip ring and brush. They ensure accurate and easy measurement of the torque transmitted from the target object under conditions from standstill to high-speed rotation. These use strain gages for the sensing element for precise and stable measurement, and are therefore widely used not only for experiments and research but also for industrial measurement.
