Awards for torque sensors
September 1st 2006 Sensor Technology has picked up two overseas awards this year for its new digital TorqSense RWT310/320 series non-contact torque monitoring transducer.
Following its success at Sensors 2006 in Chicago, the company then received an award from Dilys Yong Mee Hiong, group president of PSA Asia.
TorqSense is a plug-and-play digital torque sensor which picks up and analyses a radio signal from a miniature piezo electric detector on the rotating shaft being monitored. It is fully self-contained, can be set up in minutes and generates outputs that can be read locally by a technician or transmitted to computers and control systems.
TorqSense is mechanically simple with its sensors fixed to the shaft and a rotating RF antenna used to allow coupling with its digital electronics and immunity from magnetic fields, so there is no need for complicated and delicate slip rings or large transformer assemblies to obtain signals.
