Torque Sensor Kit
30B-050331
The torque sensor system measures torque via strain gauges fitted to the driveshafts and connected to a radio transmitter communicating to a receiver mounted in the chassis.
The kit consists of two transmitters (each connected to the strain gauges on a driveshaft) and two receivers mounted on the chassis.
Main features;
- Wireless non-contact system
- Can be machined to fit shafts from 25-30mm diameter
- Receiver able to withstand up to 2500rpm of driveshaft rotation
- Receiver connects to loom like any 0-5V output analogue sensor
Specification;
- Supply 10 - 16V
- 12 bit resolution
- 0-25 Hz frequency response
- Offset 2.5V
- Output 0-5V
- Operating temperature 10-80C
- 400-450 MHz frequency
- 240Hz data
- Total mass 225g (transmitter + receiver)
Benefits & Applications
- Allows constant monitoring of engine torque/power at the wheels
- Enables the calculation of powertrain efficiency (losses)
- Gives accurate information about tyre effects on transmission loads (driveshaft failure analysis)
- Facilitates the understanding of differential setup to improve vehicle dynamics and the gearchange strategies
