Whether you need a standard torque measurement device, a custom engineered OEM product, or mid to high volume torque sensors, our business is based upon our customer’s.

We can work with you to develop a cost-effective, high-quality torque measurement solution, which integrates into your product line and within your existing machinery.

Research and development is a core part of our business and we continue to strive to remain at the forefront or torque and strain measurement technology.

With two successful patent applications achieved last year we continue to work in partnership with major OEM customers to developed solutions to integrate torque and strain sensing into their application.

We are located on the Isle of Wight, the home of the foil strain gauge developed by Saunders Roe who secured early patents for the foil gauges (later sold to Vishay Measurements) and the home of Robert Hooke who worked on the Law’s of Elasticity. He created “Hookes Law” upon which all strain sensors are based. The Isle of Wight has a deep technical history that includes: the first European satellite launch system, helicopters, high speed ship turbines, the first shaft power measurement system, the hovercraft, early jet fighter and flying boat technology and military radar systems. Many of the key employees of Datum are the sons and grandsons of those who worked on the projects listed above.
