Torque transducers
The torque of a rotating shaft, where the machine delivers it, while it works.
At the power take-off of a tractor, between the machine and the implement, or in the shaft line of a test bench, between two flanges. Each transducer reads the torque in place, with the shaft still doing its job.

- torque and speed at the power take-off
- 100 N·m to 50 kN·m
- TF series flanges
- 0.1
- TF accuracy class
The torque of a shaft, in place, while it works.
The PTO transducer sits between the power take-off of the tractor and the implement. It reads torque and speed, so you get the mechanical power actually delivered, with nothing to modify on the machine.
On a test bench, the TF series goes in the shaft line between two flanges: 100 N·m to 50 kN·m, accuracy class 0.1, with no contact between rotor and stator.
Advantages
- Nothing to modifySplined ends on the PTO lock onto the tractor and the implement. An eye-hook stops the housing from rotating.
- Torque and speedThe mechanical power actually delivered at the power take-off.
- Contactless on the benchThe TF stator powers the rotor by induction, 1 to 2 mm away. IP67, 200 % overload protection.
