Datum Electronics - Custom Torque Sensors for OEM & Industry
Datum Electronics specialises in designing and manufacturing custom torque sensors for applications where standard products aren’t suitable. Whether you’re working with non-standard shaft geometries, extreme torque ranges, or unique mechanical layouts, our engineering team can deliver tailored solutions that meet your exact requirements. From one-off prototypes to fully integrated OEM systems, we provide rotary and static torque sensors built to fit your environment — not the other way around.- OEM machinery integration
- Aerospace, defence, and motorsport test rigs
- Marine propulsion and industrial drive systems
- Wind turbine and energy sector validation
- Heavy-duty mining and construction equipment
- Research and development platforms
- Retrofit installations with existing shafts or couplings
Datum Electronics are able to provide both modular and custom industrial sensors, as well as reaction and rotary strain measurement solutions. The solutions range from an installation on a specific shaft or coupling on a test rig to the full design of an integrated system for a drive system. Engineered solutions can be complete as a one-off torque sensor or as fully integrated OEM solutions.
We have also designed and built the world’s largest torque transducer of 12 MNm.
With over 30 years of experience, Datum Electronics have completed over 1,000 such designs and will probably have something approximately close to your requirements in our library. If you would like to discuss an application, where you believe a custom torque sensor design would be of benefit, please call our technical sales team or email us a drawing or sketch of the shaft and its location, including as much information as possible.
Custom engineering solutions are our speciality, we have been successfully providing flexible solutions to meet emerging markets and customers needs for many years by:
- Modifying or customising our standard products to fit into a customer’s requirements
- Developing new products from existing components and parts
- Adapting standard products to integrate into existing machinery or application
- Designing and manufacturing one-off design projects
