[0002] Torque measurement is a key test item in the motor testing process, and its accuracy and stability have a significant impact on the evaluation of motor power and efficiency.
[0003] Torque measurement in high-speed motors typically employs dynamic torque sensors. In existing technologies, dynamic torque sensors generally utilize strain gauge technology for torque measurement. Strain gauge technology calculates torque by measuring the strain of an elastic element; its working principle is based on the resistance strain gauge principle. In a dynamic torque sensor, the strain gauge is securely mounted on the elastic shaft, serving as the key sensitive element for torque measurement. When torque is applied to the elastic shaft, the shaft undergoes a minute deformation, which is captured by the strain gauge and converted into an electrical signal for output.
[0004] However, with the technological advancements in high-speed motors and the increasing market demand, higher requirements are being placed on torque measurement sensors suitable for high-torque, high-speed motors. At high speeds, the strain gauges of the sensitive element are affected by centrifugal force, leading to increased technical difficulty in obtaining accurate torque data and a significant rise in testing costs.
