Bestech Australia has introduced a high precision torque sensor designed for both static and dynamic measurements on non-rotating applications. Applications include torque measurements on extremely small electrical actuating drives and micro-mechanical actuator elements, or for measuring reaction torques eg. on micro motors. The high accuracy of measurement also makes this sensor suited for use as a reference in many fields of industrial manufacture, or in laboratory research and development projects.
As the sensor does not contain any rotating parts, it requires no maintenance if used properly. Installation is also simple with the inclusion of mounting brackets and flange adaptors, allowing quick and practical integration of the sensor into existing or newly-developed setups and test benches.
The strain-gauge-based sensor’s modular design allows precise configuration for specific applications:
- mV/V with standardized output signal
- ± 10 V output signal, configuration via USB
- ± 10 V output signal, configuration and measurement via USB
Its main features include:
- Measurement ranges from 0 … 0.01 Nm to 0 … 10 Nm
- Linearity error from ≤ 0.05 % F.S.
- Output signal ± 10 V / USB (optional)
- Tare function, filter and average values configurable
