Surface Acoustic Wave Torque Sensors

SensorData's rotating torque sensors support speeds up to 35,000 RPM for the T258 model, 20,000 RPM standard (with 35,000 RPM optional) for the T260, and up to 10,000 RPM for select other models. The SYNTH wireless series and BT4000 support up to 20,000 RPM. Speed capabilities vary by model, so consult SensorData for your specific application.

Yes. SensorData offers true wireless options including the SYNTH series, which transmits data over 500 feet via 2.4 GHz Bluetooth with no cabling, and the BT4000 series, which uses induction-powered Bluetooth for high-vibration environments. Both are immune to EMI and suitable for automotive road testing, EV testing, and engine test cells.

The SYNTH Wireless Rotary Torque Sensor is intrinsically safe and certified for use in ZONE 1 DIV 1 explosive environments. It is immune to EMI, ESD, and nearby metal interference, making it suitable for oil drilling, petroleum mining, and engine testing in flammable or caustic environments where standard wired sensors pose safety risks.

Most wired rotating models (T258, T260) require AC carrier strain gage signal conditioning, such as SensorData's i200 electronics. The T360 series is compatible with both AC and DC electronics. The T171-231 dual-range reaction sensor features on-board proprietary DC electronics with ±10 VDC output. Wireless models like SYNTH and BT4000 have integrated electronics requiring no external conditioners.

Yes. The T258 and T259 rotating torque sensors meet Army-Navy standards AND 20002 and AND 10262 for aerospace and defense applications. The T171-231 dual-range reaction sensor is IEEE 1451.4 TEDS compliant. Wireless sensors operate in regulated ISM bands requiring no special license, and the SYNTH series meets ZONE 1 DIV 1 intrinsic safety requirements.

SensorData torque sensors serve aerospace, automotive, EV and hybrid vehicle testing, defense, industrial manufacturing, petroleum and mining, and research laboratories. Applications include aircraft fuel pump test stands, motor and engine testing, drivetrain and transmission measurement, viscosity measurement, tire test machines, electric vehicle dynamometers, and oil drilling torque monitoring.
