Torque sensor

At Guemisa we specialize in torque sensors, torque meters and high-precision torque sensors for demanding industrial applications. Our extensive experience in instrumentation—from signal converters to flow and temperature equipment—allows us to offer complete, reliable solutions tailored to your technical needs.

What is a torque sensor?

A torque sensor, also called torque meter, torque sensor either torque transducer, It is an essential device for measuring the torque applied to a shaft. Its accuracy is crucial in applications such as test benches, assembly lines, and R&D processes.

Torque sensors allow the measurement of transmitted torque on rotating shafts in industrial applications, electric motors, power transmissions, and dynamic testing systems.

Advanced technologies in our torque sensors

Our torque sensors incorporate cutting-edge technology:

• Magnetostrictive (NCTE): Non-contact sensors, ideal for high-frequency measurements, with great durability in demanding industrial environments.
• Strain gauges (CERTIFICATION): Based on shaft deformation, available in the following versions:
  • Static: ideal for static measurements with maximum precision.
  • Dynamics: equipped with sliding rings for continuous torque measurement in rotation.

Types of torque sensors

• Rotary torque sensor for test benches and dynamic measurements.
• Static torque sensor for calibration and structural testing.
• Magnetostrictive sensor for non-contact dynamic measurement.
• Sensor with strain gauges for high-precision applications.

Key advantages of our torque sensors

• High precision: Typical accuracy less than 0.1 % FS.
• Versatile outputs: analog signals (0-10 V / 4-20 mA) and digital signals (CAN, EtherCAT).
• Industrial robustness: resistance to vibrations, thermal variations and axial loads.

Main applications of our torque and torque sensors

Our sensors stand out in sectors such as:

• Motor and pump testing.

• NCTE 2000 Series: A robust and cost-effective alternative for OEM manufacturers seeking precision and reliability.

How to choose the ideal torque sensor?

• Torque range: defines the measurement range and the point of maximum accuracy.
• Sensor type: static or dynamic versions depending on the movement of the axis.
• Compatible output: Make sure it is compatible with your acquisition or control system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a torque sensor or torque meter?

It is a device that measures the torque applied to a shaft. It is also known as a torque sensor and is used to control mechanical forces in industrial processes.

What is a torque sensor used for?

It is used to measure torque in test benches, assembly lines, rotating machinery and development or R&D processes, ensuring accuracy and safety in measurements.

What is the difference between a static and a dynamic sensor?

The static sensor measures torque when the shaft is not rotating, ideal for calibration. The dynamic sensor uses slip rings or non-contact technologies to measure torque while the shaft is rotating.
