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.

New Interface Torque Transducer Selection Guide
The Interface Torque Transducer Selection Guide helps you to quickly evaluate the range of Interface's torque transducer models based on whether you need a reaction (static) or rotary (dynamic) style. The guide enables you to select the best torque sensor based on features and capabilities, such as bearingless, contactless, compact, miniature, force and torque, overload protected, wireless, and USB output options.
