Torque sensor measures the reaction forces exerted on the motor housing. SDI’s Model 01302 is directly mounted to the motor’s flange face as the main interface between it and the torque load. It can be used with variable displacement motors, fluid meters, linear actuators, and other drive motors to measure the output torque, in real-time and at the source. The use of this sensor greatly reduces the potential of electrical noise due to bearings or slip-ring brushes, and allows for more extreme environmental exposures, such as at sea or at remote field sites. This sensor design can be adapted for a wide range of applications and motor face couplings including SAE type flanges.
Torque capacities typically range from 100 in-lbs 10,000 in-lbs (11N-m to 1100Nm).
