The latest force torque sensors provide the levels of sensitivity and reliability needed for industrial cobot applications.

Several schemes are available to calculate torque in motion control, quality control, and test applications. Most are based on indirect measurements and are of limited value. Torque sensors, by ...

Torque is an important factor in much of the equipment on a factory floor. Measuring torque is often something that's misunderstood, which can lead to over- under-designing of measurement systems.

In September, Sensor Developments Inc. (SDI) released the 01251 series of infrared dynamometer torque sensors. While inquiring about this new series, I quizzed Rick West, electronics design engineer ...

Reducing the moment of inertia improves the sensitivity of a mechanically based torque sensor, the parallel of reducing the mass of a force sensor, yet the correspondingly small displacements can be ...
