Interface provides force and torque sensors to automotive test labs and engineers for performance testing of drivetrains, the critical mechanical pathway that transfers power to the wheels in vehicles of all types. Direct physical measurement of torque, axial thrust, and multi-axis reaction forces provides the foundational data required to evaluate true efficiency, map dynamic transients, and prevent mechanical fatigue across rigorous automotive test cycles. Interface's AxialTQ is designed for high-accuracy drivetrain testing.

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.

Interface advanced sensor technologies meet the demanding conditions of space simulation environments. Simulating space travel, habitats, space robots, and planetary rovers requires high-accuracy load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors.
