ROBOTIC JOINTS / STATOR TEST BENCHES

Reaction Torque Sensors.
Flange Torque Transducers.
Static Torque Load Cells.

Measure torque through the fixed structure. Select the load range, clear the center bore and connect a calibrated signal chain.

FIRST, CHOOSE THE LOAD PATH

Five interfaces. One engineering review.

Start with the connection your assembly needs. Ranges are configuration targets; drawings and load limits are confirmed with your quotation.

MEASURE THE FIXED LOAD PATH

The shaft turns. The sensor stays on the frame.

A Reaction Torque Sensor between a motor or gearbox housing and the fixed frame measures the housing torque without rotating the sensor cable.

For steady-state balance, relate housing torque to shaft torque after accounting for losses and other loads. During acceleration, include rotor inertia and any parallel torque paths. Validate fixture resonance, sensor bandwidth and cross-load limits.

Review fixed-housing vs. rotary measurement ↗
Fixed frame, static flange sensor and motor stator in series; output shaft rotates separately
Load-path concept. The torque sensor body and cable remain stationary; shaft rotation does not pass through the sensor.
01 / MECHANICAL

Make the bolt pattern and bore work together.

Send OD, BCD, thread, usable center opening and stack height. Include axial and bending loads so a torque rating does not hide an integration problem.

02 / ELECTRICAL

Quote the sensor and readout as a system.

Request mV/V, USB, RS485, analog, CANopen or EtherCAT conditioning. Sampling, filtering, scaling and connector pinout need module-level confirmation.

Build a calibrated kit ↗
03 / REPLACEMENT

Compare the original drawing before the part number.

FUTEK, Honeywell, Interface, HBM and Burster references begin a compatibility review. Mechanical fit, stiffness and wiring require separate sign-off.

Request a replacement review ↗

ENGINEERING QUESTIONS

Resolve the load path before ordering.

Can a static sensor measure a changing motor load?

Yes, when the sensor remains stationary and the varying housing load is within the complete measurement system bandwidth. Review inertia, losses, resonances and other torque paths before relating it to shaft output.

Is a reference model a guaranteed drop-in replacement?

No. Approve the range-specific mechanical drawing, stiffness, cross-load limits, excitation, sensitivity and connector wiring before a replacement is released.

What comes with the requested calibration?

Request five points in both CW and CCW, the sensor/readout pairing, uncertainty and the traceability chain. The quotation confirms the actual report scope; NIST traceability is not a blanket product certification.

REQUEST QUOTE / CAD

Start with your load and mounting envelope.

Send the installation constraints. We will review the sensor configuration, drawing, calibration scope and commercial quotation.

Prefer email? inquiry@reactiontorque.com

Please send non-confidential specifications first. CAD is supplied for the agreed configuration after engineering review.

Calibration & kit options

Budget add-on increments from the project brief, subject to configuration and written quotation. Calibration traceability and uncertainty must be confirmed for the ordered range.
