Torque sensor features four temperature inputs

Sensor Developments offers a high-speed, noncontact torque sensor for use in dynamometer systems. The 01251 series features a design that incorporates a digital infrared system to reduce the influence of electrical noise on the system.
A 1500Hz frequency response, 20,000 rpm speed rating, and high-level analog output are all standard features. These sensors are typically used in flange-to-flange style mounting configurations and can be designed to retrofit into any existing dynamometer system. Other design features include integral coupling interfaces, torque and thrust force measurement, an optical encoder for angle and speed measurement, and on-board temperature inputs.
A custom transmission system allows for up to four temperature inputs in addition to the rotating torque measurement. It is useful for measuring multiple heat sources created from friction sources such as bearing and braking systems.
The 01251 IR torque sensor family can be configured in multiple attachment configurations and can also be designed to measure axial thrust. Available in single, dual, and custom flange designs, it has capacities ranging from 1000 in.-lbs to 250,000 in.-lbs (113 to 28000 Nm).
All sensors include an ISO-17025 accredited calibration certificate.
