CONTACTLESS TORQUE SENSOR MODULE

SG2Q TORQUE SENSOR MODULE FOR E-BIKE


The SG2Q module set is designed as a very responsive contactless torque sensor module. It is suitable for a range of applications involving torque measurements on a rotating shaft/spindle using a strain gauge sensor. A prime example application is an e-bike mid-drive motor for higher-end e-bikes where responsiveness and accuracy are key to providing the best rider experience.

 

SG2Q Torque Sensor

 

By using wireless power and data transfer, the rotating torque shaft side is free of any batteries. A one-millimeter air gap between the rotor part and the stator part provides a friction-free solution. The sensor is ideal for reliable measurement of static and dynamic torque on both non-rotating and rotating components. Integration into an e-bike system is easy by using the optional CAN bus interface or the direct analog torque output.

Zero friction and low power consumption for the fairly high accuracy achieved is the key feature of the technology, along with its compact design and customizable form factor.

High reliability through the use of automotive-qualified components (AEC-Q).

Inner diameter (ID) and outer diameter (OD) can be customized on both ROTOR and STATOR. Typical ID values are from 15mm to 100mm. For a radially constrained design, a typical OD is from ID + 15mm.

For an axially constrained design, a typical OD is from ID + 30mm. In the axial direction, the typical minimum size is 4mm plus mechanical fixation (also depending on strain gauge type).
