Torque Sensors

Our torque sensors use advanced strain gage technology to satisfy the most demanding requirements for static and dynamic applications. We off er solutions for measuring reaction torque and rotating torque. Our torque meters complete with integral mechanical stops increase overload capacity and provide additional protection during mounting and operation. We off er a variety of small capacity sensors for dynamic and reaction torque measurements.

Our combination sensors simultaneously measure reaction torques and forces with a single device. They can also detect angle position and provide velocity measurement. We can customize a wide range of available models to meet your specific needs.
