What is a Torque Sensor and How is it Used in Industrial Automation? Industrial automation has revolutionized the way the world works. However, it’s impossible to set up a fully-functioning system without an array of different sensors. In general, these sensors create a measurable output for a specific physical force—whether that is electricity, temperature, or torque. The latter is an extremely important measurement for systems that include rotary motion and/or frequent tightening of com...
