The I-PEX ESTORQ® is a torque sensor that can easily be incorporated into any device or application. 

 

ESTORQ® is Easy to Incorporate


  • Achieves compactness and weight reduction by the electrostatic capacity method

Application Examples


The ESTORQ® sensor can be incorporated into various manufacturing equipment and machines, as well as various applications. By incorporating ESTORQ® in parts closer to the drive part of each device, such as joints and links, it enables detection of minor torque value that cannot be detected by the electrical current value of the motors or actuators. Below is video of an electric hand equipped with ESTORQ®.
