Rotary torque sensors for automotive uses

Staff -- Control Engineering, 7/1/2006

Torkdisc rotary torque sensor system is designed for automotive driveline and powertrain dynamometers and torque measurement applications that require a robust torque transducer. It features a telemetry system consisting of an on-board electronic module that converts torque signals into a high-speed, 16-bit digital output. Styles are also available that use a non-contact, maintenance-free design that eliminates the need for replacing worn brushes. Sensors come in capacities from 50 oz-in. to 225 k lb-in. full-scale. www.pcb.com PCB Piezotronics Inc., Force/Torque Div.
