Torque Transducers
Patented optical torque transducer technology provides a unique method for precise and accurate torque measurement. The durability and reliability of Vibrac's torque sensors have been demonstrated by more than 20 years of industrial application in both laboratory and production environments.

Description
The transducers use encoder-type discs to shutter light proportionally to the angular displacement of a torsion bar. This light is then converted by high-output photocells into a current that is likewise proportional to the torque.
This methodology provides for the manufacture of both dynamic and static non-contacting transducers with relatively low inertia for any given torque range. The high output current of these optical transducers results in a noise-free signal in an electrically noisy environment. Vibrac® provides Torque Transducers for both static and dynamic applications, which cover the range from 0.05 oz-in to 400 in-lbs.
