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.
Parameter
- Second flange
- Controls whether the second flange is accessible or connected to the rotational reference frame.
Probe Signal
- Torque
- The measured torque, in Newton meters (Nm).
