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.

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 Go from Torque Telemetry to Wireless Telemetry
