Wheel Torque Sensor

Monad Electronics, an ISO 9001 certified company, offers an automobile Wheel Torque Sensor. This is designed to be bolted to the brake drum or spindle of a car or truck in place of the regular wheel. The wheel is then bolted to the torque sensor. This moves the wheel outward approximately 11/2 inches from its original location. A slip ring or rotary transformer assembly is provided to connect the torque sensor to an instrument in the vehicle. Most torque sensors can be supplied with two sets of bolt holes so that it can fit two different bolt circle diameters, each with the same number of holes. The sensor is normally furnished with one adapter plate for one given stud pattern. Some of the wheel torque sensors are designed for use with special wheels, which bring the tyre rim back to its original location, thus maintaining the original tyre track. Also, on some models, a DC tachometer or 60-tooth gear and magnetic pickup generator can be supplied which provides a signal proportional to wheel speed. Established in 1998, the company is specialised in providing consultancy for itemised engineering test rigs and projects; designing and manufacturing sensors and related indicating and controlling devices; testing equipments and allied products related to data logging and acquisition, along with variety of electronic industrial products. The company has unrivalled experience in providing affordable solutions for torque measurement applications. The range of products extends from simple manually operated instruments, through to sophisticated computer-controlled systems.
