Reaction torque sensor QTA141 series

dynamic0-5 VIP20

The QTA141 micro reaction torque sensor is the smallest torque sensor in FUTEK's catalog. Its unique geometry allows it to fit in applications where precision closed-loop torque measurements have previously not been possible. It allows for multiple mounting configurations and can be integrated with electronics for custom requirements. By matching the motor/gearhead assembly diameter without adding to its size, the QTA141 allows for precise torque measurement in a very dense array, which maximizes the real state utilization of the assembly. Its unique motor mounting provisions do not require adapters, which would increase the system's height and weight. It’s especially well-suited for the fast-growing market of medical surgical robots, but offers excellent performance for any dynamic application. This model can also be modified to suit OEM applications. FUTEK offers application and engineering resources during DFM/DFX stage upon request. Small and lightweight The super small size of the QTA141 sensor at 0.86in (22mm) dia and 0.39in (10mm) height allows integration into systems and devices where space is at a premium, such as MedTech applications. At about 9g in weight, these sensors are also ideal for drones and even cube satellites. Dynamic measurement and control The sensor can be mounted directly onto a brushless DC motor. The motor power can be controlled based on the torque feedback, providing dynamic feedback and precise control of the power that is used. In surgical applications, this can drastically reduce suture breakage.
