The FUTEK QTA163 is a miniature rotary torque sensor. It is FUTEK’s smallest rotary torque sensor offered. Firstly, it has 17mm x 17mm cross section. Along with a 53mm length. Amazingly, the 5mm shaft can accurately measure torque up to 150 rpm. Manufactured from 17-4 hardened stainless steel providing strength, hardness and corrosion resistance over a wide temperature range.

With this super small footprint, it enables integration into systems and devices where space is at a premium. Therefore, the smaller cross section allows multiple sensors in an array within narrow space. Compared to those stacking larger torque sensors.

Secondly, the QTA163 contains a custom built slip ring inside. This allows the electrical signal to transfer from a rotating component to the stationary stator (outside the housing). Due to FUTEK’s high precision machining of the components, this ultimately provides accurate reading and reliability.

A standard 7 pin connector enables data transfer to external electronics for readout and control.

Thirdly, another feature which sets FUTEK’s Sensor solutions apart from the rest. Is the integration of the TEDs chip as a standard feature. The TEDs chip contains information about the sensor, amplifier, sensitivity and reference excitation range. Providing auto-scaling, reducing errors and enables simple plug and play compatibility.

Finally, FUTEK can reduce your set up time. By Factory calibrating your sensor of choice with an amplifier.

AI Overview BETA

The Futek QTA163 is a miniature rotary torque sensor that measures torque in rotating systems. Its custom slip ring carries the electrical signal from the rotating component to the stationary stator outside the housing. Surgical robot and dental drill systems use its TEDS chip, which holds sensor and amplifier details for auto-scaling and plug-and-play compatibility.

5 mm shaft measures torque at speeds up to 150 rpm
17 mm x 17 mm cross-section; 53 mm overall length
17-4 hardened stainless steel resists corrosion across a wide temperature range
Standard 7-pin connector links to external electronics for readout and control
Factory calibration with an amplifier is available for your chosen sensor
