Automobile Torque Reaction and Rotating Sensors

The right torque transducer depends on what you're measuring and where you're measuring it. Rotating torque sensors measure dynamic torque inline with spinning shafts, typically in engines, transmissions, or drivetrains. In contrast, reaction torque sensors capture static torque by resisting the movement of a rotating component, providing crucial data without spinning components. Together, these devices give automotive engineers a complete view of mechanical performance.

Our automotive torque transducers are engineered for high fidelity and repeatability, even in the harshest testing environments. From lab benches to test tracks, Himmelstein's sensors provide the backbone for accurate torque measurement and diagnostics.
