BEFORE SELECTING THE RANGE
Check the loads the torque channel does not measure.
- Simultaneous Fz/Mz load combinations and cross-axis compensation
- Two-channel excitation, sampling synchronization and grounding
- Axial and torque calibration, uncertainty and combined-load checks
Material and signal targets: 17-4PH stainless or 7075-T6 aluminum; 1.5–2.0 mV/V nominal full-bridge output; CW/CCW calibration. The requested ±0.05–0.1% FS nonlinearity/hysteresis target requires range-specific verification. Temperature effects, excitation, overload, IP rating and cross-axis sensitivity are confirmed per configuration.
MEASURE THE FIXED LOAD PATH
The shaft turns. The sensor stays on the frame.
A Reaction Torque Sensor between a motor or gearbox housing and the fixed frame measures the housing torque without rotating the sensor cable.
For steady-state balance, relate housing torque to shaft torque after accounting for losses and other loads. During acceleration, include rotor inertia and any parallel torque paths. Validate fixture resonance, sensor bandwidth and cross-load limits.

ENGINEERING QUESTIONS
Resolve the load path before ordering.
Can a static sensor measure a changing motor load?
Yes, when the sensor remains stationary and the varying housing load is within the complete measurement system bandwidth. Review inertia, losses, resonances and other torque paths before relating it to shaft output.
Is a reference model a guaranteed drop-in replacement?
No. Approve the range-specific mechanical drawing, stiffness, cross-load limits, excitation, sensitivity and connector wiring before a replacement is released.
What comes with the requested calibration?
Request five points in both CW and CCW, the sensor/readout pairing, uncertainty and the traceability chain. The quotation confirms the actual report scope; NIST traceability is not a blanket product certification.
