Company: Sensor Technology Ltd Established: 1976 Description: Manufacturers of TORQSENSE Transducers, the world's first low cost non-contact rotary torque transducers designed for OEM applications. Rotary torque measurement has always been difficult and expensive. The patented method uses a surface acoustic wave device as a frequency dependent strain gauge and measures the change in resonant frequency caused by the applied strain in the shaft. The signal is transmitted via an RF couple from the rotating shaft to a fixed pick-up. By using a frequency-based device, the signal bandwidth is increased, and the problem of electronic interference common with analogue signals is eliminated. The torque sensors are designed to operate direct from a PLC or a PC. They require minimum length of shaft, have low inertia, no physical contact between shaft and housing, wide bandwidth, high resolution and accuracy resolution to better than one part in a million, and excellent noise immunity. The technology lends itself to design of OEM transducers for specific customer applications. Applications include automotive, manufacturing machines, condition monitoring where knowledge of torque is critical, torque control of tightening procedures, and monitoring of viscosity during mixing where consistency is required. 1: Torque Sensor 2: Viscosity Measurement 3: Rotary Torque Transducer Classification: Manufacturer Target Markets: WORLDWIDE - All Regions Tel: 44 1869 238400 Fax: 44 1869 238401 Address: 68 Heyford Park Upper Heyford City: Bicester State/Province: Oxon Zip/PC: OX25 5HD Country: UK URL: http://www.sensors.co.uk/wwim Contact: Sales Home      Advanced Search      Add Link      Marketplace      Submit News      Machine Shops      Contact Copyright © Industrial Leaders All rights reserved.  Privacy Statement Please read important copyright notices and disclaimers information.
