In the fields of automation equipment, power system R&D, and precision testing, torque is a core mechanical parameter for evaluating mechanical transmission performance, operational efficiency, and product reliability. Dynamic torque sensors can capture instantaneous torque fluctuations in real time under conditions of continuous high-speed rotation of rotating shafts, providing high-precision data support for test calibration, closed-loop control on production lines, and equipment fault diagnosis.


Our company specializes in the R&D and production of force and torque sensing products. The FA640 shaft dynamic torque sensor adopts German core technology and production equipment, complying with JB/T 12935-2016 industry standard, featuring non-contact signal transmission, 0.5%FS high precision, wide measuring range and ultra-high cost performance. It fills the demand gap of high-stability dynamic torque testing for test benches, automotive components, electric actuators, hydraulic valves and other industries, and has become a mainstream measuring instrument for engineering technical teams.

Product Basic Introduction

Working Principle

Adopting mature strain gauge electrical measurement technology, FA640 builds a high-precision strain bridge on the elastic shaft surface. When the shaft bears torsional load, the elastic shaft produces micro deformation, and the resistance of strain gauges changes synchronously. The power supply circuit collects the deformation electrical signal, demodulates and compensates through internal circuits, then converts it into standardized voltage or digital signal for output, realizing lossless and real-time accurate torque collection during rotation.
