Custom Torque Sensors

Sensing Systems pioneered the “Custom Off the Shelf” concept for manufacturing non-standard or custom torque sensors. Our capabilities are unique in several key areas including design selection, delivery, capacity and environment. 

Custom Off the Shelf Manufacturing

Attributes of Our High Capacity Models

DESIGN SELECTION & DELIVERY

Sensing Systems design and manufacturing capabilities result in torque sensors that can be incorporated into any shape or configuration. The outside geometry may be machined to square, rectangular, circular, or any other section or shape required by the application. Sensing Systems’ approach is to incorporate our standard sensing elements into a shape that fits the customer’s application. This allows us to deliver non-standard or custom torque sensors matched to the application within a short period of time.

CAPACITY & TRACEABILITY

Capacities vary from 1 ozf.in to 360,000 lbf.in for units requiring NIST traceable calibrations. Units exceeding the calibration limit are exercised to their nominal capacity but are only calibrated to 360,000 lbf.in.

INSTRUMENTATION & ELECTRONICS

Sensing Systems torque sensors can be designed to communicate with any instrumentation or data acquisition equipment. Sensing Systems utilizes wireless / telemetry equipment when required by the application. The most common wireless / telemetry application is a rotational torque sensor connected to a rotating shaft.

ENVIRONMENT

All torque sensors may be waterproofed to withstand the rigors of challenging environments including wet, splash, or underwater. These units are designed to operate in a wide temperature range of -452˚F to 450˚F (-269˚C to 230˚C). Service in chemically active and corrosive environments is also possible.
