We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Torque Sensor",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Transducers promise reliable torque testing from
Datum Electronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "Torque measuring systems are available either as a complete torque transducer or as a separate rotor and stator assembly, ideal for high speed test rig and OEM applications".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Torque sensor provides extruder data from
Sensor Technology: "The TorqSense torque sensor collects data via a radio signal rather than being hardwired to the extruder".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Sensor Technology
concerning its TorqSense torque sensor
- take a look at Torque proves crucial improve plastic recycling
which says: "Research into cold extrusion of recycled plastic depends on a digital TorqSense torque sensor, which uses Surface acoustic wave techniques to provide noncontact measurements".
Take a look also at the news release from BI Technologies Electronic Components Division, Non-contact torque sensor suits steering systems,
as well as Torque sensor helps make new aircraft possible from Sensor Technology,
and Torque sensor suits tough environments from Kistler Instruments.
