How to Select a Rotating Torque Sensor

Choosing the proper rotating torque sensor is very important as the proper selection will prevent damage and ensure accuracy.  The first white paper, How to Select a Rotating Torque Sensor, will help you choose the proper torque sensor for your needs by reviewing:  

  • Types of torque sensors, such as reaction, circular shaft, analog telemetry, digital telemetry and dual-range torque sensors
  • Application considerations, such as accuracy, capacity range, RPM rating, output requirements and response times
  • Environmental considerations, such as temperature, dirt and electromagnetic interference
  • Dynamic considerations, such as rotational effects, critical speeds and extraneous loading
  • Physical requirements, such as size and mounting limitations of the torque sensor
  • Costs or budget considerations

21 Tips on How to Install a Torque Sensor

Once you've selected the torque sensor, now it's time to install it. The torque sensor is a critical component of accurate measurement and, by design, can act similar to a mechanical fuse. If it’s installed improperly, the torque sensor can be damaged beyond repair - costing you time and money. To get the best performance and longevity out of your torque sensor, be sure to install it properly. In this second paper, 21 Tips on How to Install a Torque Sensor, you’ll learn installation tips and tricks in the following areas:

  • Arrival - handling, moving, shipping
  • Driveline design - critical speed, parasitic forces and design
  • Mechanical installation - couplings, mounting and alignment
  • Cabling - construction and noise immunity
  • Electrical setup - shunt value, calibration data and onsite calibration.
