What is a Rotary Torque Sensor?
Rotary torque sensor, also known as rotary torque transmitter. It is a sensor used to measure the torque generated by a rotating object during operation.
These sensors convert mechanical quantities into electrical signals. Rotary torque sensors can accurately monitor the performance of rotating mechanical equipment.
How does a Torque Sensor Work?
1. Strain sensor: Use strain gauges to sense the deformation of an elastic shaft when it is twisted. The torque is indirectly reflected by the change in resistance value.
2. Magnetoelectric sensor: Based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Non-contact measurement of torque is achieved by measuring the change of the magnetic field on the rotating part.
3. Photoelectric sensor: Utilizes the photoelectric effect or fiber optic sensing technology.
4. Non-contact sensor: Such as a sensor based on the magnetoelastic effect. Torque is detected by measuring the change in magnetic characteristics. It is non-contact with the rotating part.
