TorqSense Digital rotary strain gauge series (SGR) torque transducers use non contact technology eliminating the need for noisy slip rings. The SGR510/520 series torque sensors are suitable for torque measuring, testing, feedback control of drive mechanisms and process control applications.

The transducers use modern strain gauge signal conditioning techniques to provide a high bandwidth low cost torque measuring solution with high overrange and overload capabilities.

If you require separate electronics, please see our SGR530/540 Series transducers.
