3. Description of the Measuring System
3.1. Mechanical Design
Torque Sensors consist of a base body which contains the measuring shaft. The shaft ends are performed as
standard square connections or standard hexagon ends. On the measuring shaft there is a torsion distance
with strain gauges and a signal amplifier with A/D transformer. The connection box of the base body
contains the stationary electronics for the signal formation.
