Torque Meters

Torque Meters

Torque meters, also known as torque transducers or torque sensors, are devices used to measure the rotational force applied to a shaft or system component. They convert mechanical torque into an electrical signal that can be monitored, recorded, or used for control purposes in process systems. These sensors are available in contact and non-contact designs, including rotary and reaction types, depending on the application's requirements.

Torque meters are essential for ensuring the performance, efficiency, and safety of rotating equipment. By continuously monitoring torque, operators can detect mechanical overloads, misalignments, or system inefficiencies before they lead to equipment failure or process disruptions. This real-time insight supports predictive maintenance and optimizes system performance.

Torque meters are widely used across industries such as manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, chemical processing, energy, and water treatment. Typical applications include monitoring torque in pumps, mixers, gearboxes, motors, drives, and rotating test systems. They are also used in quality control to verify tightening forces in assembly processes or evaluate mechanical performance under load.

By delivering accurate, dynamic torque measurement, torque meters play a critical role in maintaining process integrity and optimizing mechanical operations. Their integration into control systems helps enhance operational transparency, reduce downtime, and improve the reliability of torque-sensitive equipment in a broad range of industrial environments.
