MAGNETIC-INDUCTIVE TORQUE SENSOR

Simple OEM sensor application through modular concept

Direct Torque Measurement: Unique technology for detecting mechanical forces in waves. The torque sensor forms with the shaft a tuned measuring system which can be economically produced in large quantities. The Magnetic Sense technology creates a unique force and torque sensor for series applications. Sensors with this technology can measure torques, bending forces and axial loads (tensile and compressive forces).

The contactless and active sensor solution based on the magnetostrictive principle consists of the following individual components:

• Mechanical sensor module (must be mounted on the measuring shaft)
• Sensor electronics (integrated in the sensor)
• Connection cable (connects the electronics to the user system)

APPLICATIONS

Automotive
Energy savings and emissions reductions require more and more information about the engines. Our measuring sensors can be used to measure the output power of motors and transmit the information to the controller. Magnetic Sense multi-force sensors determine torque, bending forces and axial load for you (tensile and compressive forces).

Automotive

E-Mobility
With our torque sensors, measurements can also be made in the low-speed range found on e-bikes. A torque sensor installed in the engine or bottom bracket determines the speed and the torque.

E-Mobility

Drive technology
Information about the torques of a machine is indicative of its static and dynamic loading. In addition, by measuring the rotational speed, it is easy to determine the performance of a drive train.

TECHNOLOGY

Torque sensor

Our multi-force sensor works with any ferromagnetic test object (for example: solid shaft, hollow tube) and can be used to measure torques, bending forces and axial forces.

The sensor module of an Active Torque Sensor is placed on the ferromagnetic test object where the measurements (for example, torque) are to be taken. The sensor element inside the 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.

Technology


The Active Torque 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.
