In the automotive industry, torque sensors can be used to measure the output torque of the engine, so as to obtain the acceleration performance and fuel consumption of the car. In addition, torque sensors can also be used in the four-wheel drive system and electric power steering system of the car to achieve the distribution and control of wheel torque.

Engine test:
In the engine bench test, the torque speed sensor can accurately measure the torque output and speed change of the engine at different speeds and loads. Provide data support for engine performance optimization and quality control.

Transmission system monitoring:
In the transmission system of the car, the torque speed sensor can monitor the torque and speed of the drive shaft in real time to ensure the normal operation of the transmission system. This is of great significance for improving the transmission efficiency of the car, reducing energy consumption and extending the life of the transmission system.

Electric power steering system:
The torque speed sensor plays a decisive role in the electric power steering system. It can sense the torque force and steering angle generated by the steering wheel when the driver is steering. The control information is converted into a digital signal and input into the control unit to achieve power assistance. This not only improves driving comfort and safety, but also reduces the energy consumption of the steering system.
