Slip Ring Torque Sensor
Rugged and cost-effective slip ring Torque Sensor  are available in 10 in lb to 30,000 in-lb. Convenient Brush Release Lever allows the user to release the brushes from contact with the slip rings. This reduces wear during extended 
 periods of operation when data is not required. A torque-sensitive element in each sensor utilizes bonded-resistance strain gage technology along with coined silver graphite brushes for data transmission. The strain gage bridge is configured to eliminate the effects of bending and thrust strains.

Non-Contact Torque Sensor
The Teledyne Brown Engineering Non-Contact Torque Sensor is designed for installation between a power source and a load to accurately measure torque. Since there are no moving parts, such as bearings or slip rings, these torque sensors are maintenance free. They are
designed for continuous operation in harsh environments. The torque-sensitive element utilizes bonded resistance strain-gage technology and is designed to eliminate the effects of bending and thrust loads. Ranges from 10 to 30,000 in/lbs. An inductive power and data transfer system is used for contactless, air-gap transfer of excitation power and torque output signal. Measured values are  continuously transmitted from the rotating shaft back across the air gap to a stationary module. Output ranges from 0 to 5 V.

Automotive Torque Testing
The RT100 Rear Wheel Drive Torque Sensor offered by Teledyne Brown Engineering is a testing tool used by automotive engineers to obtain an accurate and response real-time torque signal from the driveline. The system can be installed on any size shaft and is completely weatherproof. Other devices are available from TBE such as FWD torque snesor, crankshaft and timing chain sensors.

Reaction Torque Sensors
Teledyne offers a complete line of Reaction Torque Sensors in capacities from 10 in-lb to 250,000 in-lb. All of our sensors utilize strain gages and are maintenance free with no moving parts. Reaction Sensors are used in applications where in-line torque measurements are required and angular motion is limited. It is often the case, that torque in a rotating shaft can be measured with a stationary reaction torque sensor at some point in the powertrain. This is due to the existence of an equal and opposite force (torque) necessary to hold the drive and driven equipment in place. For example, the torque to drive a pump at a constant speed can be measured as the static torque necessary to hold the pump or the motor from rotating. The reaction torque approach is often less costly and because reaction torque sensors have no moving parts, requires no maintenance. Reaction torque sensors are recommended in lieu of rotary torque sensors when steady-state measurements are acceptable.

The Teledyne Brown Engineering - JT4000 is a Portable, Digital Indicator designed for use with our Torque Sensing Socket Extensions or any strain gage based transducer. The system can be utilized on the factory floor or in the field to obtain fastener torque or to calibrate/check torque wrenches. The JT4000 utilizes Teledyne's Smart Connector technology which keeps the calibration data for each sensor stored in EPROM on the sensor connector. This allows the user to interchange sensors without additional calibration. The unit is fully compatible with all strain-gaged-based transducers.
