Shaft Torsion Sensor TRS605

The FUTEK TRS605 Rotary Torque Sensor with Encoder delivers precision torque, speed and angle feedback in a compact, non-contact shaft-to-shaft design. Available in capacities from 1 Nm to 1000 Nm and rated for speeds up to 7000 RPM.  It also integrates strain-gauge torque measurement with a high-resolution quadrature encoder (2×360 pulses per rev) for synchronised motion and power analysis.  Finally, thanks to sealed aluminium housing, TTL encoder output and ±5 VDC rated output for torque, the TRS605 is ideal for motor/drivetrain testing, robotics, industrial automation and aerospace applications requiring a premium Rotary Torque Sensor with Encoder.

The RS605 Rotary Torque Sensor with Encoder is engineered for long-term reliability.  It features a rugged, sealed design that withstands vibration, axial loads, and demanding industrial environments. Its non-contact signal transmission also eliminates brush wear.  As a result, this reduces maintenance and ensures stable measurements over extended continuous operation. The TRS605 also offers excellent linearity and low hysteresis.  This gives engineers accurate torque readings across the full measurement range. Finally, with flexible mounting configurations, multiple shaft diameter options, and compatibility with a wide range of DAQ and control systems, this sensor is a versatile choice for both OEM integration and high-performance testing applications.
