Analog Rotary Torque Transducers with Square Drive & External Electronics – SGR535/SGR536

Our TorqSense rotary strain gauge transducers utilise non-contact technology, eliminating the need for noisy slip rings.

The SGR535/SGR536 Torqsense Rotary Strain Gauge Transducers (SGR series) with separate electronics utilise non-contact technology, eliminating the need for noisy slip rings. This makes them ideal for torque auditing applications.

Specifically designed for square shafts, these transducers offer a seamless fit, enhancing measurement accuracy and stability.

The SGR series transducers employ advanced strain gauge signal conditioning techniques to deliver high-bandwidth analog outputs, available as fixed voltage or current signals for seamless integration with analog instrumentation. Three output channels are provided, with channel assignments depending on the specific model, offering a versatile and cost-effective torque measurement solution with excellent overrange and overload capabilities.

The addition of the external electronics module enhances the versatility for applications such as torque measurement, testing, feedback control of drive mechanisms, and process control, ensuring dependable performance even in challenging conditions.
