The data detected by the sensor can be transmitted to the inspection meter, recorder, and even to the cloud platform through the … Read more
Shaft Torque Sensors – Product List and Work Guide
Shaft Torque Sensors are devices that can directly measure the torque of a rotating shaft. This refers to the mounting structure of the torque sensor, such as a flange torque sensor. Compared with flange-mounted torque sensors, shaft-mounted torque sensors take up less space and are relatively inexpensive. Shaft Torque Sensors can be dynamic torque sensors … Read more
What is Contactless Torque Sensor and Technology?
Compared with traditional contact torque sensors, Contactless Torque Sensor avoids physical contact. This feature significantly reduces wear and energy loss. Improves the reliability of the measurement system. Contactless Torque Sensor does not mean that the sensor can obtain measurement results without contacting the measured object. Instead, it means that the power supply and signal inside … Read more
