Torque Telemetry

Measuring Turning Force Wirelessly




Torque telemetry systems help you turn a difficult measurement exercise into a simple and effective solution, but...






Usually, you can’t use wires when you want to measure the torque on a shaft or anything else that’s moving.


If you need to make a non-contact connection, wireless technology is the answer.









What is Torque Telemetry?


It means measuring torque at a distance. It lets you get the result of the measurement back to where you want to receive it.


Torque is a turning force, and if you want to measure it you can’t use wires… unless you want to measure static torque on a shaft that doesn’t rotate more than 360 degrees, otherwise any wires connected to it will just break.






Telemetry is the answer.


Rotating telemetry systems overcome these two specific problems...

  • Getting power to, and...

  • Getting measurement data or information from...

the sensors attached to rotating shafts.

Here are two wireless ways to transfer power and measurement data to and from the torque sensor unit.

  • Use slip rings to transfer power and data, or better...

  • Transfer power by electromagnetic induction (when you can’t or don’t want to use batteries) and transfer torque data by radio (RF) transmission.


Find out how Wireless Torque Sensors make a difficult task easy


Torque isn't the only kind of telemetry. You can remotely measure any physical property that you can convert into an electrical signal, using a sensor or transducer. For a more general discussion on wireless telemetry and examples of some applications
