Sensor Technology Ltd

For over 40 years, Sensor Technology has researched and developed solutions for customers' torque and load measurement requirements, creating its own unique technologies for the instrumentation, test and OEM markets worldwide and supported by a global network of distributors.

NEW FOR 2020 is the TorqSense Digital Rotary Torque Transducer, using modern non-contact strain gauge signal conditioning techniques to provide a wide bandwidth measuring solution with high over-range reading and overload. Ranges from 1Nm to 13000Nm. Our standard range of torque transducers can be interfaced with a range of analog ouputs for torque and speed, or digital outputs including USB, RS232, CANbus and Ethernet.

Our Optical Low Capacity Torque Sensor (ORT230/240 series) offers an ideal means for precise dynamic measurement of rotary and static torque. Transducers can be as small as 10mNm up to 100Nm, with high bandwidths of up to 50Khz and speeds to 30000rpm.

The wireless LoadSense loadcell is a strain gauge based stainless steel tension type sensor with the capability of wirelessly transmitting its data to one of our compatible readouts and displays or recording its data locally. Its inbuilt 32MB memory can hold up to 149 hours of data, which can then be downloaded to a PC via its USB cable. The Load Sensor transmits using the worldwide licence free frequency of 2.4GHz on two built in antennas.

The development allows weighing processes to be fully integrated with handling operations. All live data is captured in real time and can be transferred to a database, stored, totalised and analysed. The load sensor can be integrated with a crane hook, fork lift or other handling device.

Our LoadSense load sensors – sizes from 1 Tonne to 50 Tonnes, can be used with the handheld receiver or cabin receiver display interfaces, which can read several devices at the same time, and/or our stand alone Receiver Interface which is used to output the data via RS232/RS422 to a PC.

HeliNav LoadMaster is an intelligent wireless helicopter load sensor with inclinometer and accelerometer capabilities so that it can be used with large underslung loads. It is available in a range of sizes from 1 tonne to 10 tonnes. The HeliNav LoadMaster sensor is completely autonomous and can also interface to it’s own receiver/display mountable in the cockpit. This makes it independent of the host helicopter’s systems, while being wireless means it does not require additional certification of the electrical systems. It also means it can be swapped from one craft to another in seconds, allowing HeliNav-LoadMaster to be shared around a fleet of aircraft. A handheld receiver/display, able to interrogate several different LoadMaster sensors, is also available for ground crew use.
