Torque Sensors Mind Power Steering Systems

Designed for electric power steering systems, the Magnetorque non-contacting torque sensors feature dual-phase outputs that promise reliable diagnostics. Said to be unique, their design does not require clock springs or slip rings to convey power and signal between rotating and non-rotating portions of the sensor. The components are programmable for gain and offset and specify an accuracy of ±3% or ±1.5% and hysteresis of 1% with a rotational life of 25 million revolutions. Operating voltage is 5V ±10% with a maximum current consumption of 10 mA per output. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +125°C. BI TECHNOLOGIES, Fullerton, CA. (714) 447-2518.
