Torque Sensor

Purpose

Output measured torque as signal

Library

Mechanical / Rotational / Sensors

Description

The Torque Sensor measures the torque between its two flanges and provides it as a signal at the output of the component. A torque flow from the unmarked flange towards the flange marked with a dot is considered positive.

Note

A torque sensor is ideally rigid. Hence, if multiple torque sensors are connected in parallel, the torque measured by an individual sensor is undefined. This produces a run-time error.

Parameters

Second flange

Controls whether the second flange is accessible or connected to the rotational reference frame.

Probe Signals

Torque

The measured torque, in newton-meters \((\mathrm{N}\mathrm{m})\).
