What is a Torque sensor?

It is a device for measuring torque (force that twists the shaft). It is sometimes called a torque gauge, but some manufacturers use different gauges and meters. As an example of using properly depending on the application, the torque gauge is to operate the object to be measured for measurement, and the torque sensor is to set the object to be measured on the torque sensor for measurement. There are mechanical type and electric type, and the measurement principle is different.

Application of Torque sensor

Although it has a wide range of uses, it is mainly used for test research and quality control. For the purpose of test research, for example, the strength of test materials and parts against twisting is measured, and the degree of twisting is measured. For the purpose of quality control, it is used for unannounced inspection of how strong the cap of the container being manufactured is tightened, and tools such as electric screwdrivers used in the manufacturing line operate within the normal range. It is used for checking before the start of work.
