Torque Transducers

Torque transducers convert twisting forces into an electrical signal. Strain gauges wired in a full or half Wheatstone bridge sense the torque-induced shear strain, producing an output proportional to the applied load. We carry the ANYLOAD 112BA, a compact aluminum model rated from 20 in-oz to 100 in-lb (0.14–11.3 N·m).

Torque Transducer Uses

The 112BA is designed for portable and hand-held torque gauges. Its small size also suits fastener and cap torque checks, overload protection, and lab or automation fixtures where space is tight.

Choosing a Torque Transducer

• Static or rotating: reaction sensors measure torque without turning, while rotary sensors spin with a shaft. Confirm which one fits your setup.
• Capacity: size for peak torque, including start-up spikes and sudden stops.
• Mounting: check the bolt pattern or shaft connection against your fixture.
• Environment: ensure the device’s IP rating matches the ambient conditions. See our guide to load cell IP ratings.
