Overview
Datum Electronics has extensive experience in torque measurement, designing, manufacturing, and supplying both rotary and reaction torque sensors for a wide range of applications. Our torque sensors deliver accurate, real-time data on torque, speed, and power, helping engineers monitor and optimise mechanical systems across sectors.
What Are Torque Sensors?
Torque sensors, or torque transducers, measure rotational force applied to a shaft or system. Rotary torque sensors are typically used in dynamic applications where the shaft is spinning, while reaction (static) torque sensors measure torque without rotation.
Applications & Sensor Types
Torque sensors are used in industries such as marine, automotive, energy, and manufacturing to improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and support predictive maintenance.
- Rotary Torque Sensors: Suitable for motors, gearboxes, pumps, and rotating machinery.
- Reaction Torque Sensors: Ideal for test rigs, bolted assemblies, and static load monitoring.
