Torque & Angle Sensors

A torque and angle sensor measures both the rotational force applied to a shaft and its angular position at the same time. This combined measurement enables calculation of critical parameters such as stiffness, power, and torsional behavior in rotating systems. SensorData's models with optional angle encoders and TEDS chips capture both parameters, making them ideal for drivetrain testing, motor characterization, and closed-loop control applications that require comprehensive rotational data.

A torque sensor measures the rotational force transmitted through a shaft or coupling. It is used to monitor, control, and analyze the performance of motors, engines, transmissions, pumps, and other rotating machinery. SensorData's torque sensors serve applications ranging from automotive drivetrain testing and aerospace fuel pump stands to calibration of hand-held torque wrenches and life-cycle testing.

SensorData's torque sensor product line covers an extensive range from 50 oz-in on the low end up to 1,000K lb-in for heavy-duty applications. This broad capacity range ensures an appropriate sensor is available for micro-motor testing, industrial drivetrain evaluation, aerospace propulsion testing, and everything in between, without requiring custom ranges.

SensorData's high-speed rotating torque sensors, including the T258 and T360 series, are rated up to 35,000 RPM, with some models supporting extended operation at this speed. The T260 operates at 20,000 RPM standard with a 35,000 RPM option available. The BT4000 wireless series supports standard rotation up to 20,000 RPM with Bluetooth signal transmission.

SensorData offers four primary signal transmission technologies: wired AC/DC strain gage, rotary transformer (non-contact magnetic), slip ring, and true wireless Bluetooth 2.4 GHz. The BT4000 Series provides wireless data transmission up to 100 feet with induction power to the rotor, eliminating cabling entirely — making it ideal for high-vibration environments and confined engine test cells.

Yes. The T258 and T259 models meet Army-Navy standards AND 20002 and AND 10262, qualifying them for aerospace and defense use. These sensors are applied in high-speed aircraft fuel pump test stands and other demanding aerospace environments. SAE 4340 alloy steel construction with a satin nickel finish ensures durability under rigorous military-grade testing conditions.

Every SensorData torque sensor is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee, a 60-day return policy, and free in-house calibration when paired with SensorData electronics. The sensors are IEEE 1451.4 TEDS compliant, and select models carry Army-Navy AND 20002 and AND 10262 certifications. SensorData Technologies has over 30 years of precision sensor expertise, founded in 1993, delivering field-proven solutions for the most demanding test environments.
