Rigid PCB Production Capability

From China Zhong Sen International Company Limited
 

 

First, let's revisit what torque is and why it's important. Torque is a measure of the forces that cause an object to rotate. Reaction torque is the force acting on the object that's not free to rotate. An example is a screwdriver applying torque to a rusted screw. With rotational torque, the object is free to rotate. Examples include industrial motor drives and gear reducers.
Torque and RPM determine horsepower, and horsepower determines system efficiencies, so being able to monitor and control torque can be critical in optimizing overall system efficiency.
Torque measurement is paramount in engine and transmission testing, turbine testing, pump testing and testing of gear trains and power measurement within propulsion systems. Monitoring torque can be critical to the performance of axles, drive trains, gear drives, and electric and hydraulic motors. Other in-plant applications include gas and steam turbines.
