AI Technical Summary
Existing rotary torque sensors lack overload protection, making them susceptible to damage when rotating machinery operates at excessive speeds.
A rotary torque sensor was designed, comprising a reservoir, a lead screw motor, a piston plate, a connecting rod, a connecting pipe, and a spring structure. When overspeed or excessive torque is detected, the lead screw motor starts to raise the piston plate, the hydraulic medium is no longer under force, and the spring rebounds to disengage the connection, thus achieving overload protection. The length of the sensor can be adjusted by adjusting the screw and the telescopic cylinder to adapt to different mechanical requirements.
It achieves overload protection for the rotary torque sensor to avoid equipment damage, and can adjust the length of the sensor output end as needed to adapt to different mechanical fixing requirements, facilitating disassembly and maintenance.
