Custom Torque Transducers
Datum Electronics are able to provide both modular and custom designed torque and rotary strain measurement solutions, which can be complete as one off or as fully integrated OEM solutions.
In many cases, it is better to use an existing shaft or test rig and use custom industrial sensors instead. This process reduces the cost of fitting a conventional torque transducer and it improves the torque measurements, taken by maintaining the dynamics of the driveline.
- Inline and non‑contact rotary sensors
- Custom shaft‑mounted torque measurement
- High‑torque sensors for the industrial and energy sectors
- Bespoke electronics, interfaces, and data outputs
