-
MV/V Analog — Torque ranges: 25 to 4,000,000 lbf-in, mV/V output, compatible with ac carrier amplifiers.
-
DC Analog — Torque ranges 10 lbf-in to 4,000,000 lbf-in.
Rotary torque transducers: measure torque in a rotating shaft and sense torque with high-precision strain gages. These respond to shear forces with changing electrical resistance when mounted on a rotating element. When configured in a Wheatstone Bridge arrangement, sophisticated electronics convert these signals into torque values. In both cylindrical and pancake configurations, the rotary transformer offers advantages over slip rings: they offer no friction, no wear, are immune to intermittent contact problems, and can operate at higher speeds.
