Designing high performance, non-contact, low-cost, low-power, torque and angle sensors in custom form factors just became a lot easier using these torque sensor modules. Sensitivus has relaunched as an electronic module supplier – delivering the highly optimized building blocks needed for designing sensors using the patent pending technique.
The 3-module set allows the designer to configure the sensor to include both torque and angle sensing, or to be a pure torque sensing solution. Based on the proven SG3Q technology, the module set offers the same unrivaled low power consumption and brings all the features in a much more compact and easy-to-integrate format.
While the torque sensor technology was designed with e-bikes in mind, it really shines in a lot of different applications ranging from medical, intelligent motors, robotics, and other industrial systems.
Design a Custom Sensor Faster
Development of a non-contact strain gauge based torque sensor solution is streamlined with a one-week online workshop tailored to the specific system the sensor is to be part of. This allows the key sensor details to be fully understood and detailed out in the form of a prototype design within a week or less.
To help developers get started, a number of complete reference designs are available to kick-start the development process and showcase the torque sensor module set in real designs. A full industrial sensor (SG210) demonstrates all the features of a sensor in a typical industrial sensor form factor. This is very useful for testing the sensor technology in a typical dynamometer test bench setup.
For lab desk testing, a dual PCB reference design (SG30) is available implementing the features in a quite compact format for a rotating torque and angle sensor. In many cases the first tests may not require full rotations, or are really just to verify software interface protocols. In those cases a much simpler non-rotating strain gauge interface module SG12 is available to help speed up the development.
Torque is sometimes referred to as moments of force.
