How do they work?

Transducer is a generic name given to a device, usually electronic, that converts a physical attribute to a measurement signal.

Torque transducers measure the torque (or twisting motion) on a static or rotating system. The static torque element has little movement and is therefore more economic to manufacture and purchase. Rotary and/or dynamic torque are more complicated as the signal needs to be transferred using slip rings, wireless telemetry, or rotary transformers/inductance technology so the strain gauged shaft can continuously rotate.

Our standard range of torque transducers

𝗧𝗥𝗦: Small but mighty, this transducer measures torsion and is perfectly designed for test rig applications where static and/or dynamic measurement are required.

𝗧𝗥𝗫: With its fully welded construction, the TRX provides a flange design device for measuring static torsion.

𝗥𝗧𝟮: Capable of measuring rotational torsion at up to 4000rpm, the RT2 is designed for measuring static or dynamic torsion. Applications include rotating machines, test benches and automatic tightening systems.
