Torque Transducers Review

Torque Transducers Review Plus Glossary of Torque Terms

Interface torque transducers measure the twisting force or moment applied to an object. Review our torque glossary, engineering tips, and fundamentals about torque measurement, including a review from Interface's popular Torque 101 webinar.
INTERFACE 101 REACTION TORQUE

Reaction Torque 101

Interface reaction torque transducers offer exceptional measurement accuracy in static and low-rotation applications. A reaction torque transducer uses strain gage technology. These sensitive components deform slightly when subjected to torque. The static, stationary nature simplifies integration into test setups and existing systems. They are available in various configurations for diverse applications, including shaft, flange, and square drive.
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.
Torque And Couplings 1

Torque Transducers and Couplings are the Perfect Pairing

A torque transducer coupling is a specific coupling designed to facilitate the connection and torque measurement between a torque transducer and a rotating shaft, providing accurate and reliable torque data. Whenever you are selecting an Interface torque transducer, be sure to request or add the Interface couplings that are designed for that specific transducer model. It is especially important to review the couplings features that pairs with your specific transducer. They are designed to work together, and you risk any problems or potential transducer failure.
