What is the Problem with the Torque Sensor?
Common faults of torque sensors:
Abnormal output value: discontinuous or unstable data. Even unable to provide data.
System alarm: The sensor detects a problem trigger. It may be a visual, sound or electronic message prompt.
Abnormal temperature: The temperature is too high or too low. Overheating may be caused by internal circuit problems or the external environment. Too low may be caused by disconnected wires or damaged components.
Physical damage: Cracks, deformation, corrosion, etc. indicate that the sensor is damaged or aged.
Calibration deviation: Frequent recalibration is required to maintain accuracy. There may be internal problems.
Solution:
- Check the power supply and connections to ensure that the power supply is normal and all connections are secure.
- Calibrate the sensor and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Replace damaged parts. Purchase new parts based on the sensor design and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Check environmental conditions to ensure that the sensor is in a suitable working environment.
- Perform regular maintenance, clean the surface, check connections, calibrate, and replace worn parts.
What is the Difference between a Cadence Sensor and a Torque Sensor?
(1) Different measurement objects:
Torque sensors measure the size and direction of the torque on an object. Cadence sensors measure the pedaling frequency of the rider.
(2) Different application scenarios:
Torque sensors are more commonly used in strength training, automotive power systems and other fields. Cadence sensors mainly serve cyclists.
(3) Different data value:
The data provided by torque sensors can help athletes analyze power output and technical movements. Cadence sensors focus more on cycling efficiency and rhythm adjustment.
Torque sensors and cadence sensors are two key technologies in sports technology. They each play an irreplaceable role in sports monitoring and analysis. These two sensors will become more and more intelligent and refined. They provide more powerful support for athletes’ training and competition.
