1. What is a torque sensor?
A torque sensor (torque transducer) converts torque on a rotating shaft into an electrical signal.
It typically consists of a sensing element and signal-conditioning electronics, and can be used for both static and dynamic torque measurement.
2. Key applications
Measuring torque in mechanical power-transmission systems;
Engine and drivetrain test stands for torque/power measurements;
Verification and calibration of tool torque output;
Materials and mechanics research in laboratories.
3. Common types
Strain-gauge (resistive) torque sensors;
Magnetostrictive torque sensors;
Optical (photoelectric) torque sensors;
Piezoelectric torque sensors.
