Abstract: A magnetostrictive torque sensor that is configured to be attached around a rotating shaft exhibiting a magnetostrictive effect and detects torque transmitted by the rotating shaft in a predetermined operating temperature range. The magnetostrictive torque sensor is provided with a molded resin body including a cylinder portion with a hollow cavity in a center through which the rotating shaft is inserted, a flexible substrate that is wrapped around an outer circumference of the cylinder portion of the molded resin body and includes a plurality of detection coils composed of a wiring pattern, a cylindrical magnetic ring that houses the flexible substrate between the magnetic ring and the cylinder portion, and a filler composed of a curable resin filled between the cylinder portion, the flexible substrate, and the magnetic ring. A linear expansion coefficient of the molded resin body is higher than a linear expansion coefficient of the magnetic ring, and the filler is cured in a state in which temperatures of the cylinder portion, the flexible substrate, and the magnetic ring are elevated to higher than an upper limit temperature of the operating temperature range.

Abstract: A torque sensor including a shaft that receives an applied torque is disclosed. The shaft includes a magnetoelastic region that generates a non-negligible magnetic field responsive to the applied torque and null regions that generate a negligible magnetic field. The torque sensor includes null region sensors that generate a null region magnetic field measure corresponding to an ambient magnetic field. The torque sensor includes a magnetoelastic region sensor that generates a magnetoelastic region magnetic field measure corresponding to the ambient magnetic field and the non-negligible magnetic field. The torque sensor includes a controller that determines whether a null region sensor has entered an intense ambient magnetic field condition and whether a magnetoelastic region sensor has entered a magnetoelastic region sensor saturation condition. The controller also calculates a magnitude of the applied torque based on the null region magnetic field measures and the magnetoelastic region magnetic field measure.

Abstract: A force measurement device includes a flux concentrator with first, second, third, and fourth poles, a magnetic field generating unit generating a magnetic field applied to a test object, and a magnetic field sensing unit with first, second, third, and fourth magnetic field sensors. The flux concentrator is arranged such that each of its poles concentrates the magnetic field. The first, second, third, and fourth poles are arranged such that they form a quadrangle. A first recess is provided such that the first pole is spaced apart from the second and third poles is spaced apart from the fourth pole. A second recess is provided such that the first pole is spaced apart from the third and second poles is spaced apart from the fourth pole. The magnetic field sensors are arranged opposite to each other with the flux concentrator in between and such that the first and third magnetic field sensors both face the first recess and the second and fourth magnetic field sensors both face the second recess. The magnetic field sensing unit provides a signal as an indicator for a force applied to the test object.

Abstract: A temperature compensated torque sensing system and methods for using the same are provided. The system can include a sensor head in electrical communication with a controller. The sensor head can contain a torque sensor including a core, a driving coil and a sensing coil. The sensor head can also include a temperature sensor coupled to the sensor head. The torque sensor can be configured to measure torque applied to a selected portion of a target based upon magnetic flux passing through the target, while the temperature sensor can be configured to concurrently measure the target temperature. The temperature sensor can be positioned for avoiding interference with sensed magnetic flux. The controller can adjust the determined torque using the temperature measurements to compensate for changes in magnetic properties of the target due to variation in target temperature. In this manner, the accuracy of the torque measurements can be increased.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for measuring a force and/or moment on a machine element extending along an axis, using the inverse magnetostrictive effect. The machine element has a magnetization region for magnetization, this region fully encompassing the axis. The arrangement includes at least one first magnetic sensor and one second magnetic sensor, each being designed to measure individually a first and a second direction component of a magnetic field that is caused by the magnetization and by the force and/or the moment. The direction components that can be measured using the first magnetic sensor have differing orientations. Likewise, the direction components that can be measured using the second magnetic sensor have differing orientations. The first magnetic sensor and the second magnetic sensor are arranged around the axis at different peripheral positions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement for measuring a force and/or a torque on a machine element extending in an axis, using the inverse magnetostrictive effect. The machine element has at least one permanent magnetization. The permanent magnetization extends along a closed magnetization path. The magnetization path runs preferably at least partially along the surface of the machine element. The arrangement further includes at least one magnetic field sensor which is arranged opposite the machine element. The magnetic field sensor serves to determine a magnetic field and is designed to measure at least one vector component of a magnetic field coming from the machine element, which field is produced on the one hand by the permanent magnetization and on the other hand by the force and/or by the torque. According to the invention, the orientation of the permanent magnetization relative to the axis changes along the magnetization path.
