Typical applications are quality assurance, torque check and adjustment for tools, and process control and measuring technique in the laboratory.  The sensor elements incorporate strain gauges of the highest quality and are sealed for protection against most industrial environments. 

The small-sized brushless rotary torque transducers, ROTAX, are also available with an integrated encoder for precise monitoring of torque and angle.  All sensors are supplied with a factory certificate of calibration.  The standard accuracy class is 0.5%.  Due to the integrated sensor electronics, the receivers are very disturbance insensitive.  A data memory in the sensor electronics enables the automatic sensor recognition (auto detect) by the Microtest Base Unit.  As the calibration data is stored in each sensor, calibration can be done independently of the Microtest base unit. 

The basic functions (momentary/peak value display, data output mode, limit value monitoring, language selection) can be set up by the user with LCD and keys.  The parameter values and user configuration are stored in the respective sensor. 

The measurement of the torque or force is bi-directional with specification of the appropriate sign.  An I/O interface enables the connection with the external controllers.
