Torque Measurement Trainer
Product Code : EL-MAILE-10813
Torque Measurement Trainer (code EL-MAILE-10813) is a set for measuring torque with a strain gauge based, reaction type torque transducer and reading it directly in kg-m. Weights on a pan hung from a 1 m fulcrum arm, mounted to the sensor through an L angle, apply torque up to the 1 kg-m capacity, and the 3½ digit indicator, working with a 10 V DC bridge supply, shows up to ±1999 counts at 0.01 kg-m resolution.

What Is the Torque Measurement Trainer Used For?
Torque is a turning effect equal to a force multiplied by its distance from the axis, so a known weight hung at a known point on an arm produces a known torque. Students load the pan on the 1 m fulcrum arm with the 100 g dead weights, one at a time, and the reaction type cell, whose strain gauges change resistance under the load, gives a signal that the indicator shows in kg-m. Comparing each reading with the torque calculated from the weight and the arm length shows the sensor's linearity and resolution. The same quantity is also commonly expressed in inch-pounds, foot-pounds or newton-metres.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of torque trainers required.
- Power supply — the 230 V single-phase unit for 50 Hz or for 60 Hz.
Frequently Asked Questions
What capacity and resolution does the torque cell have?
The reaction type, strain gauge based torque cell has a capacity of 1 kg-m, and the digital indicator resolves the reading to 0.01 kg-m.
How is torque applied during the experiment?
Dead weights of 100 g, ten in total, are placed on a pan hung from the 1 m fulcrum arm, which is mounted to the sensor with an L angle.
In what units can torque be expressed?
The indicator reads directly in kg-m. Torque, being force multiplied by distance, is also commonly expressed in inch-pounds, foot-pounds or newton-metres.
How does a strain gauge torque sensor produce a signal?
Under torque the sensing element deforms slightly and the strain gauges bonded to it change in electrical resistance; with 10 V DC bridge excitation this change becomes a voltage that follows the torque.
Does the sensor condition its own signal?
Yes. Signal conditioning embedded in the sensor receives and conditions the input signal, provides scaling and filtering, and gives a variety of outputs suited to various data acquisition systems.
How large is the trainer?
The trainer measures 400 × 300 × 300 mm, weighs approx. 15 kg and is powered from 230 V, 1 phase, at 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
