Magnetic sense force sensors efficient and fast

Our force sensors

Force sensors (also called force transducers) measure different forces acting on an object. These include bending and axial forces (tensile and compressive forces).

In industrial applications, for example in mining and tunneling, axial loading forces (tensile and compressive forces) can act on a carrier or a shaft. Based on the magnetic Active Torque principles, our sensor technology can measure these forces precisely and without contact.

The force sensor works with any ferromagnetic test object (for example: solid shaft, hollow tube).

The sensor module is mounted on the ferromagnetic test object where measurements (e.g., axial force) are to be made.
Inside, the sensor module emits an alternating magnetic field, which penetrates the surface of the test object. The mechanical forces acting on the test object influence the alternating magnetic field and its properties.

These changes are detected by the sensor element and passed on for processing in the sensor electronics. Then it shows how much force acts on the object.

Advantages of the force sensor


The contactless Magnetic Sense torque and force sensors for measuring torques, axial forces and bending forces for ferromagnetic shafts impress with their performance, size and cost-effectiveness. 

The torque and force sensors use a new innovative technology based on a magnetic inductive principle for force measurement.

Features of our products


The Active Force sensor can be used at any measuring point made of ferromagnetic material. The measuring shaft should additionally be hardened and demagnetized.

By initializing the sensor, material parameters can be entered. In order to achieve high accuracy, it is necessary to perform a two-point calibration.

The two-point calibration involves applying a load to which the sensor reading is normalized.

Every ferromagnetic, hardened measuring point is suitable

Contactless measuring principle

Digital interfaces

No influence by magnetic interference fields

Insensitive to water, oil and dust

No limitations in the speed

No magnetization of the shaft required

No damage to the sensor due to overload

Different shaft diameters feasible
