Summary

Customer Need / Challenge
An aircraft manufacturer wants to measure the torque of their aircrafts yoke or control wheel. They want to monitor the torque and forces applied to ensure that the aircrafts controls are operating properly.
Interface Solution
Interface suggests using the AT103 2-Axis Axial Torsion Load Cell to measure both torque and force within this single sensor. It can be installed inside of the yoke, and can measure the rotation of the yoke, and the forward and backwards movements. Data can be measured and paired with the SI-USB4 4-Channel USB Interface Module, and displayed with the customer’s laptop.
Results
Interface’s AT103 2-Axis Axial Torsion Load Cell was able to measure and monitor the torque and force of the yoke control.
