Rotary torque sensor

Rotary torque sensor: how to choose the right model

Rotary torque sensors, also known as torque transducers, allow for the precise measurement of torque on rotating shafts, motors, gearboxes, and test benches.

In industrial applications, selecting the correct sensor is key to avoiding measurement errors, premature wear, or unstable readings.

Common applications

• Electric motor testing
• Automotive test benches
• Torque control in production lines
• Measurement in rotating machinery

Types of torque sensors

There are different technologies depending on the application:

• Strain gauge sensors
• Magnetoelastic sensors
• Contactless sensors for high speed

Common mistakes when measuring torque

• Poor shaft alignment
• Use of static sensors in dynamic applications
• Influence of vibrations or axial loads
• Incorrect selection of the measurement range
