Existing reviews of Digital Rotary Torque Sensor, 0.1/5/300/1000 Nm to 10000 Nm
Inquiry Regarding Digital Rotary Torque Sensor (100Nm Capacity)
For our current project, we are looking to measure the rotational force applied to a roller, and we are interested in purchasing your Digital Rotary Torque Sensor with a 100Nm capacity.
Before proceeding with the purchase, I would like to ask a few questions:
Are there any additional devices or accessories required to operate this sensor (e.g., display unit, power supply, cables, etc.)?
If so, could you kindly provide a quotation including all the necessary components?
Could you also inform us of the estimated delivery time to South Korea
For your reference, the roller we intend to use has a maximum torque of approximately 25–30Nm and operates at no more than 200 RPM. If possible, we would greatly appreciate your feedback on whether the 100Nm sensor would be suitable for this application.
I look forward to your response.

I am communicating with you regarding the ATO-TQS-D03 torque sensor. Can you please provide the following:
1. Documentation describing the relationship between the raw values on the RS485 registers, and their engineering units.
2. Are the RS485 outputs for torque, power, and speed supposed to reflect exactly what is shown on the device display?
3. Exactly how many registers each measurement is allocated to.
4. How are negative values for torque handled in terms of bits and conversion to the engineering units?

About the functions of Commix software
When we are using the Commix software, we enter the command, and it appears the CRC gets added to the end by the Commix Software. Is that what is sent to the torque sensor? Then does the torque sensor return the data with a CRC at the end of it? Or does Commix append the CRC to the returned string?

Yes, Commix software has an automatic check function. When sending a read command, the check bit will be displayed. You can use Commix software to confirm the CRC check and then apply it to your software. Or you can directly search for relevant CRC checks through Google and apply the CRC check method to the software you use. This can only be done by you independently, we can only provide suggestions.

Connection of signal grounding
I am in the process of setting up communication with the device and going to go through using the software. However, I was curious if you have any C code that can talk to the device directly and print a data stream of torque and RPM. Also, when connecting this device via half duplex, do you include the signal ground? The USB to RS-485 converter documentation shows that a ground connection is needed. I wanted to make sure that the signal ground was the appropriate connection.

This sensor does Not have any C code to talk directly to the device, you can only use RS-485 communication or read the analog output signal of the sensor. If you are setting up communication with the device and are ready to use the software, you can refer to this demonstration video, see on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLZli-DjbJA

You can connect the RPM+ to 24V through a 4.7K pull-up resistor, connect the RPM- to the common ground, and connect the output signal to RPM+. At this time, the output signal end is a square wave speed frequency with an amplitude of 24V.
The digital display shows 0 Nm correctly, but when we connect a current meter to the Green & White wires (Sig + and Sig -) of the torque sensor, it reads 10 mA. Our setup involves powering the torque sensor with 24V, and the Sig + and Sig - wires are connected to a 4-20mA reading circuit. We verified our circuit using a 4-20 mA generator and confirmed the issue lies with the torque sensor's 4-20mA output.

To address this issue, you can reset the current parameters to factory settings. When the main interface of the sensor is displayed, press the K2 button continuously more than five times within four seconds. This should reset the parameters. After resetting, re-test the torque sensor to see if the 4-20mA output aligns correctly with the digital display readings.
We have a bearing supporting the shaft being measured. I am trying to gauge the size and shape the mount the torque sensor will be affixed to (thus the reactionary forces the support mount will be subject to).
Due to the nature of the system, it will be mounted about 1 meter up from the ground. Will this installation work properly?

1. To see the amount of torque from the drill, what is the torque measurement accuracy requirement? And what is the speed range (rpm) for system testing? Our digital torque sensor is very suitable for your use.
2. You can apply resistance through a magnetic particle brake paired with a magnetic particle controller. Do you have any other requirements for magnetic powder brakes?
Hello,
I am interested in purchasing the 500nm version of this but would like to understand its capabilities a little more.
Does the sensor provide feedback allowing adjustment in RPMs to take readings from free speed down to stall? From what I see it appears to just output current speed, torque and RPM, is this correct? I would like to collect the data and be able to graph it to analyze torque and power vs. RPM curves.
I am working with a 200 ftlb air ratchet for industrial applications and need to understand the power output at various RPMs.

ATO-TQS-D03 can sample torque and RPM at the same time and calculate the real-time power. However, the sampling rate of RPM is 25Hz at maximum, and the sampling rate of torque is 1KHz, so the rate of generating the real-time power data can only be 25Hz. Does this sensor meet your requirement?

If your maximum torque is less than 10Nm, then you can choose the 10Nm specification. Also you can purchase the RS485 interface version, which can output a digital signal, you can read the real time torque information, and you can also purchase our software to monitor the real time torque.
Of course our customized version shows the average torque. If you need customized version, please contact us at sales@ato.com (America), service@ato.com (Europe & Asia & Africa).
We have no distributor in Malaysia for the time being.
We are hoping for your response on this.
We have a torque sensor from ATO with the software.
We have some questions regarding the ATO software 200 torque reading from the torque sensor
Question 1
It indicates a transfer rate of 500 readings per second at 38400 bps. However, in Excel, the software seems to send approximately 200 readings per second. The question arises: is there a relationship between the time and the torque/RPM data transmitted by the torque sensor? Essentially, are the readings (1 to 217) as per Excel sheet from the torque sensor progressively increasing over time?
Question 2
We have inquiries about the correlation between RPM and torque sensor, as in our data, there are instances where RPM is rising while torque lacks any recorded readings.

1. Regarding the amount of data, the manual may be a little wrong.
If you want to achieve a transfer rate of 500 readings per second, the torque sensor baud rate needs to be changed to 57600, and the software must also be changed simultaneously.
2. Regarding the increase in speed but No change in torque (according to the data sheet you provided, the torque has Not changed).
This means that only the speed of your motor has increased at this time, but your load has Not changed, that is, the torque has Not changed.
How can I connect 2 sensors at the same time, I need to see the parameters for the input sensor and the output sensor. It seems that only one sensor can be connected, but I need 2 at the same time, to have a clear comparison.

Question for the rotary torque sensor
I'm interested in purchasing the rotary torque sensor
I have two questions:
1) Is the calibration certificate NIST-traceable?
2) Can you point me to a description of how the associated software works? I'm assuming I can access the Serial Port data with or without the associated software right?

2. Associated software communicates with the sensor through RS485 port, and of course you can refer to the comm protocol and realize the communication all by yourself.
use for the high accuracy measurements.
For our case, it won’t be practical to access the sensor and reset manually in every power cycle. So, is it OK if commanded by the PLC after each power ON through RS485 channel? We expect a high stability of sensor as the device we designed is intended to use for the high accuracy measurements.

This powder brake is used for braking, as long as it can produce brakes normally, it can be used. As for the deviation of the brake installation center, it is related to factors such as your system installation structure and application strength. This powder brake input voltage is rated at 24VDC, if you lower the voltage it will also pull down the brake output power.

The PLC reads the torque and rotational speed of the torque sensor through 485 and then sends the read torque and rotational speed to the external display screen, all of which require writing a communication program. Unfortunately, we do not provide these.
How the data is to be read from the sensor to the PLC?
Hello, I am trying to communicate the torque sensor to a PLC through RS485, but I cannot communicate.
It is a Panasonic FP0R plc. What are the addresses in decimal to place in the plc so that it can read torque and rpm?

The torque sensor has been calibrated when it leaves the factory, and the calibration parameters are stored inside the sensor.
If there is no problem in use, it does not need to be calibrated again.

I'm looking for a suitable torque sensors
I'm looking for a pair of torque sensors that can measure shaft torque on either side of a gearbox, running in both directions.
Our configuration is motor - torque sensor - gearbox - torque sensor - load.
On the high torque side we will have a maximum torque between 240 and 310 Nm (we have flexibility in the system design right now to allow for that range of maximum torques) and on the low torque side, we have a maximum of torque of 100 Nm with a maximum angular speed of 165rpm.
We were initially considering rotary torque sensors for both sides, however, we are budget conscious and so we also wanted to consider using a torque reaction sensor on the motor side.
How do the two compare in performance, would having a torque reaction sensor connected between the motor stator and the frame the motor is mounted on seem like a suitable application for such a sensor?
I also wanted to discuss accuracy and reliability, looking at the prices on your website your products are significantly less expensive than competitors I just wanted to discuss that, and any impact the low cost may have on your sensor's accuracy and/or reliability.
If you believe that you have any products that are suitable, can you please provide us with budgetary and lead time estimates to Toronto, Canada?
Lead time is important to us and we likely can only accept a maximum lead time of 4 to 5 weeks due to project constraints.
We intend to use a Labjack T7 Pro to read an analog voltage as the torque transducer output, if possible.

Question about Modbus RTU communication
Hello! I purchased one ATO-TQS-DYN-200 sensor and I want to interface it to my custom-made PCB, via a MAX485 transceiver: on one side I connect the signals A and B coming from the sensor, on the other side I will connect the Rx, Tx and DE/RE to my PCB, so that I will be able to read the measurements of the the sensor using Modbus RTU protocol. During my implementation, I am noticing that when the signal DE/RE is low, the signals A and B are very noisy and this causes problems in the reading of the reply coming form the TQS-DYN-200. I can see this noise using a logic analyser.
Could you help me solving the issue?

Is there a way to decrease the torque sensor friction?
I have purchased the a rotary torque sensor presented in the link https://www.ato.com/rotary-torque-sensor-10000-nm#quickTab-reviews for 0.1Nm maximum torque like 2 years ago.
I didn't use it since then, now when I'm using it the shaft looks to be heavy for a 0.0001Nm resolution and a major portion of the torque is lost due to the torque sensor friction.
Is there a way to decrease the sensor friction (by lubrication or something) and how?
And is it normal for the shaft to be that heavy?
Note: I can provide a video showing how heavy is the sensor rotation.

We think it's because of the increased starting torque friction that you've had for a long time without using it.
You can use a heat gun to heat the bearings at both ends of the sensor, and then run the sensor at about 2000rpm without load for 20 minutes, and then check whether this can reduce the starting resistance.
Where can I find torque sensor coefficient?
Currently I am in Hobart Indiana to finalize our FAI preparations. I have one questions though on how to calibrate the sensor. I am particular looking for the “coefficient” mentioned in your user manual on page 3. Where can I find this value on interface 1?
It probably has a different name as no “coefficient” is mentioned. Can you assist?
If possible, please send screenshots to easy resolve.

1. The sensor has been calibrated before leaving the factory, as long as the sensor is not overloaded and the torque is not faulty, so you do not need to calibrate. Calibrating the sensor yourself is cumbersome and requires calibration rods and weights.
2. The coefficients have been calibrated at the factory, and we do not recommend you to modify them unless necessary. If the parameters are disordered due to improper operation, you can restore the factory settings by pressing "K2" 5 times continuously under the main display page.

Some question of torque sensor
For the output speed of this sensor, the specifications state the ''OC'' output is standard configuration, and 5V TTL output is optional.
Does ''OC'' mean open collector? Also, how does the 5V TTL output option get implemented?
Is it a different part? Thanks.

Yes, OC output refers to open collector output. When using OC output, it is necessary to add a pull-up resistor to the collector. The pull-up resistor can be selected between 1K-10KΩ. Generally, a 5.1KΩ resistor is selected as the pull-up resistor. Please refer to the attached circuit diagram.
We do not recommend you to use 5V TTL square wave output, otherwise the sensor will burn out if the circuit is connected incorrectly.
Some questions about rotary torque sensor
I am writing to ask 2 questions regarding the ATO-TQS-D03 and the DAQ software provided by ATO.
We have been conducting some torque measurements on a system and I had a question regarding the torque sensor displayed numerical values on the LCD display versus the recorded numerical values in the DAQ software. I noticed that both the RPM and torque measurements in the DAQ software are recorded as 10x larger than the displayed and as far as I can tell true values.
I have reviewed all the DAQ software settings and I cannot clearly find a parameter that would allow me to adjust the DAQ recorded value to the true value which is 10x lower. Is there a way to change this setting in the DAQ software so that I don't have to adjust the numerical values after I export them? Is there a setting that I can adjust on the torque sensor itself in the parameter settings that may be able to modify the values to the true value when being sent to the DAQ software?
My second question is about some of the measurements that we have been getting on the system we are testing. I have provided three pictures, one of the simplified system and a screenshot of the torque measurements. My supervisor is curious if, given the system we are testing, in your experience do the oscillations in the measurements appear generally correct to you? With respect to the values in this plot, I actually divided the raw RPM and torque values by 10 to get the graphed values which are the same as the displayed values on the LCD and what seem to be more theoretically correct to the values we were anticipating.
I provided a third picture of the torque measurements of a radial bearing supported screw that I conducted some torque measurements on and we were wondering if you might be able to shed some light on why the values are oscillating so regularly, we have some ideas but the team wanted me to reach out to the experts to hear what you thought.
The torque and RPM are different in each graph but the legend is at the bottom of each picture. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Just for reference we are using the ATO-TQS-D03 with 5N-m capacity, /-5V output and we are purchased the USB to RS485 cable pus software that is supplied by ATO.

1. The torque decimal point and rotational speed decimal point in the software should be adjusted until the torque sensor shows synchronization.
Because this software actively uploads integers, but the torque range is different, you need to manually change the decimal point.
2. Regarding the regular vibration you mentioned, it should be that the coaxiality of the equipment is out of tolerance, and the difference in coaxiality should be less than 0.05mm.
Please adjust the center of the mechanical installation.
To make sure some questions
To make sure, I would like to ask again whether we are both talking about 30 times gravity and not about grams. Can you please confirm that again?

Capacity: 0.1Nm. The axial direction of this sensor can withstand a maximum load of 10 times, less than 30 times.
We would like to use the digital rotary torque sensor in one of our experiments with the axis vertical. Can you tell us if it can withstand a momentary load of 30G in this position?

Yes, the axial direction of this sensor can withstand a momentary load of 30G in this position.
Do you provide the connector/cable ?
I'm interested in using your torque sensor in a test jig we are building to cycle test a hinge. We would like to actuate the hinge (both clockwise and anticlockwise) at approximately 0.1 to 1 rpm over the range of about 180 degrees, and measure a peak torque between 2-3 N.m in both directions. We are intending to characterise the average and peak torque that the hinge requires over a large number of cycles.
In particular, I was looking at the 5 N.m model with the RS485 /- 5V option - would this work for our application ? Is the 5V output directly from an amplifier (ie analog) as opposed to generated by a DAC?
Do you provide the connector/cable ? We do not need the USB version of the cable or the software, as we have a custom system it will be integrated with (RS485 is already present)
Could you please also tell me if you have any information on the number of cycles / the lifetime of the device?

1. ATO-TQS-D03 can be tested according to your requirements, please refer to the link: https://www.ato.com/rotary-torque-sensor-10000-nm
2. “I was looking at the 5 N.m model with the RS485 + +/- 5V option - would this work for our application ?”
It depends on what signal you are collecting.
“Is the 5V output directly from an amplifier (ie analog) as opposed to generated by a DAC?”
485 signal and analog can be output at the same time.
3. Our sensor comes with a 3m signal line by default.
4. Sensor lifetime: If it is not used beyond the range, the life span is 1 million times.
Can this equipment output PEAK readings of torque?
I’m currently working on equipment for capping operations and am looking to implement a sensor that can provide readings for torque and RPM of a main shaft. I saw that ATO offers digital rotary torque sensors (https://www.ato.com/rotary-torque-sensor-10000-nm) and had a few questions regarding the device.
Can this equipment output PEAK readings of torque? One of the key metrics for my equipment will be maximum torque applied before the operation ends
Can this device be mounted so that the shaft is vertical? Could the red housing be left hanging free in the air or will it have to be mounted to some supporting fixturing?
Do the torque sensors only come in these keyed shaft configurations?
Please let me know if you are able to answer these questions!

1. PEAK readings of torque need to be equipped with instrument ATO-D054
2. Can be installed vertically. The shell needs to add a baffle to prevent rotation.
3. The output shaft of the torque sensor is equipped with keyed shaft dconfigurations.
Please refer to the figure below for the physical picture of the instrument.
We use multiple 100 Nm sensors and we are quite content with them.
My question is, can we operate these sensors in colder temperatures than -10℃, i.e. will they be operational in -50℃ with an error?
What is the IP classification?

Looking for help choosing a rotary torque transducer for testing a small experimental wind turbine.
I need a range of 0-50 Nm and 0-1200 rpm that can send a signal 0-5V or 0-10V to a data logger. Also needed will be necessary shaft couplers to go from the transducer to 25mm shafts. Any assistance in selecting the correct equipment is appreciated.

1. What is the range of Nm measured by these 4 torque sensors in the system application?
2. What is the measurement accuracy?
3. Is 4-20 mA signal for 4 sensors outputting combined or 4-20mA for each sensor?
Please note that our torque sensor is not Class 1 Div 2 group C/D, it is gas explosion-proof standard.
I am interested in purchasing a digital rotary torque sensor
I apologize in advance. I am not at all in the field of testing rotary systems. I am interested in purchasing a digital rotary torque transducer. What I am asking is what reference load is recommended at the other end of the device. I would like to connect a small DC motor at one end and measure its torque/rotation per minute for a given voltage input. Does the other end of the sensor have a rotating disk of known weight and moment of inertia as a reference?

On the other end of our torque sensor spectrum, we recommend a reed brake. In order to recommend a suitable brake model for you, we need to know the following.
1. What is the output torque and what is the maximum speed of this small DC motor?
2. What analog signal (±5V, 0-10V, 4-20mA, RS485, RS485 & ±5V, RS485 & 0-10V, RS485 & 4-20mA) do you need to output from the torque transducer?
What wires do I connect to the breakout board to read the torque with a serial converter?

Output pulse signal, but not Quadrature signal.
Use for continuous rotation?
May I ask for a clarification on the maximum rotating angle specification? "2.60*10rad (0.149°)". Can this sensor be used for multiple rotations?
2.6 * 10 rad = 26 rad = 1490 deg
What does the 0.149° value reprepsent?

1. This torque sensor can be rotated multiple times without limit.
2. 0.149° means: The maximum deformation angle generated by 1Nm at 2.6*10rad rotation arc is 0.149°.
Negative torque on 4-20mA outpput
We are using a 4-20mA output sensor, and we want to read torque in both directions. It seems the 4-20mA only supplies the absolute value. Is there a way that we can set the 0Nm at 12mA and get both positive and negative readings around that point?

Questions about torque sensor
I am integrating the torque sensor ATO-TQS-D03 in a design.
Per my calculations, the torque value to be measured could go up to almost 100Nm (93).
What happens if we exceed this value due to the starting torque of the driving system?
Do we just get bad reading, or is there a risk of mechanical or electrical damage?

If you exceed this value due to a starting torque of the driving system, it will cause the internal circuit board failure of the sensor or overload damage.
We recommend that you choose two to three times the rated range of 100Nm. If the system starts with a high torque, you can choose 0 to 300Nm.
For the 100 Nm model, Which holes are for mounting and anti-rotation?
Can 4 M8 depth 10 be used for mouting?

1. The bottom thread hole is fixed, and the threaded holes on both sides can be fixed. The premise is that you must maintain that transparency when installing, and the transparency must be good.
2. Can be installed.
Which torque sensor do you think is more suitable for us?
My name is Erlantz Otaola and I write on behalf of added value solutions, a company devoted to developing mechantronic equipment for big science and space. Currently, we are looking for a torque meter for a bench we are developing. This torque meter should measure up to 300 mNm with a minimum resolution of 0.1mNm. Looking at your page, we have come across the digital rotary torque sensor, which seems to fit our purpose. However, we would very much appreciate your assessment of this. Besides, we would like to know the price and lead time for the digital rotary torque sensor or any other you consider that fits our application better.

Yes, our ATO-TQS-D03 torque sensor is able to measure up to 300 mNm with a minimum resolution of 0.1Nm when the measuring range is 0.1NM.
Usually the measurement resolution is 1/1000 of the measuring range. So, what is the measuring range for customer requirements?

Yes, you are right. If want to get negative torque in case of reversing direction, you need to use +/-5V output signal instead of 0-10V. So, when the +/-5V output, the positive torque will correspond to positive voltage and reverse torque to negative voltage.
Can your torque sensor be setup such that one end is connected to the motor while the other end is connected to nothing? What sort of reading will I get if this is the case?

Unfortunately, can't be connected like this. Because if the other end of the rotary torque sensor is not connected (no load equipment), there will be no data to compare between the input and output, and the reading will be abnormal.
