DYNAMIC VS STATIC 101

Dynamic Versus Static Torque 101

Understanding the difference between dynamic and static torque is vital in selecting the right torque sensor. Dynamic (rotary) torque measurement is required when the sensor must rotate with the shaft, typically when the component operates at high speeds and/or undergoes significant angular acceleration. The sensor measures the applied or transmitted torque through the rotating shaft. Static (reaction) torque measurement occurs when there is no or negligible angular acceleration of the rotating element, or more commonly, when the measurement is taken on the non-rotating reaction element of a system.
CONTACT RESONANCE 101

Contact Resonance 101

Contact resonance can significantly damage measurement accuracy and even cause system failure. Interface 101 Series details how inherent mechanical clearances within the measurement system can turn harmless transient forces into potentially destructive oscillations. Contact resonance is a form of self-excited oscillation that occurs in mechanical systems involving mass, stiffness, and a clearance. Interface Load Cells 301 Characteristics and Applications Guide covers this important topic.

INTERFACE 101 ROTARY TORQUE

Rotary Torque 101

Torque is the rotational force that causes an object to turn. Interface rotary torque transducers are versatile sensors that integrate electronics directly onto the rotating shaft. Engineers measure torque using torque transducers that convert a torsional mechanical input into an electrical output signal, typically a voltage or current. Rotary torque transducers are ideal for dynamic applications where continuous rotation is required, eliminating the need for complex wiring and reducing potential points of failure. They are commonly used in measuring torque for engines, gearboxes, robotics, aircraft, medical devices, tractors, and windmills. If it turns, it needs to be measured.
