Figure 1. Appearance of a Torque Sensor
A torque sensor is a device that measures torque, the force that causes a shaft to rotate, as illustrated in Figure 1.
It converts the slight twist of a shaft under torque into a measurable output, displaying the torque value. Torque sensors are crucial in various scenarios requiring torque measurement, including torque management in production lines and evaluating the performance of industrial machinery.
While it may also be referred to as a torque gauge or torque meter, there are no strict naming conventions. This article will use "torque sensor" consistently regardless of application.
Torque sensors are commonly used in electrically powered bicycles, where they detect the pedal force (torque) applied by a cyclist. The motor then provides the necessary assistance based on this torque, easing the pedaling effort.
In industrial settings, torque sensors are vital in quality control and research testing.
Torque sensors are utilized mainly in:
In testing and research, torque sensors are mainly employed in:
The operation of torque sensors involves the following steps:
The measured torsion/strain is converted into an electrical signal, often amplified by an amplifier for easy interpretation and displayed by an A/D converter. Some sensors come with a display for immediate torque reading.
Various methods exist for measuring shaft torsion and strain, with the following four being prevalent in current torque sensors:
Figure 2. Axis of Strain Gauge Type Torque Sensor
This method employs strain gauges to measure shaft strain due to electrical resistance changes during expansion and contraction. As depicted in Figure 2, tensile and compressive stresses occur at ±45° angles when torque is applied, which is measured by strain gauges.
This method gauges shaft strain through capacitance changes between two electrodes on the shaft, affected by its warping.
Due to its simpler structure and shorter shaft requirement, it's widely used in robotic torque sensors.
Here, shaft strain is measured by detecting inductance changes in a coil due to the inverse magnetostrictive effect when torque is applied, altering the magnetic permeability.
Advantages include non-contact measurement capabilities, making it suitable for rotating shafts without compromising shaft integrity.
An optical sensor measures shaft strain by detecting changes in light amount due to emitter and receiver displacement under torsion or distortion.
Advancements in technology have led to the miniaturization of torque sensors, integrating them into industrial products. Here are examples:
1. Motor With Built-in Torque Sensor
Integrates a motor, reduction gear, and torque sensor for compactness and accurate torque measurement for smoother operation and safety enhancement through human contact detection.
2. Torque Sensor for Robots
Figure 3. Torque Sensor Built Into the Cooperative Robot
Articulated robots with integrated torque sensors, especially in cooperative robots, enable precise control of force and detection of human or obstacle contact.
