Frictional Torque Sensor System

Frictional Type Torque Sensor System
FGDH-3A CE

Frictional type torque sensor system FGDH-3A employs a frictional-type gauge does away with having to adhere a strain gauge and time-consuming connection of lead wire. IT measures torque occurring at the drive shaft of an automobile and sends the digital data wirelessly. It uses the 2.4 GHz range of the wireless range for long-range communication and easy receiving antenna locationing. The sensor clamps around the shaft and screws down easily. Applicable shaft diameters are ø20 to 30 mm, ø30 to 40 mm, and ø40 to 50 mm. Power supply uses a USB power cable with recharging capability, so the sensor can be recharged without needing to be removed.
