Torque sensors have numerous applications in the automotive sector, such as hydraulic actuators, engine dynamometers, and steering torque, among others. The applications of torque sensors in the automotive sector outweigh the applications in other segments such as industrial manufacturing and medical. This is validated by the major share of 30.1% that the automotive applications segment accounted for in 2013, of the global torque sensor market.
In the global torque sensor market, the automotive applications segment was valued at $289.1 million in 2013, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% from 2013 to 2018. The rapidly-increasing demand for small cars and the increased use of electric power systems in automobiles are expected to drive the growth of the global torque sensors in automotive market in the coming years. Torque sensors also find applications in real-time torque measurement, engine performance measurement, engine improvement, transmission, chassis performance and driveline of an automobile. In addition, they also allow automobile suppliers to test the operation of fitted ignition switches in early production stages.
New technologies such as Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) and magnetoelastic have been introduced for automotive applications. They have been observed to provide more precise torque measure than their conventional counterparts such as slip rings or rotary transformers. Some of the common applications of SAW torque sensors include drive shafts, crankshafts, and kinetic energy recovery system (KERS), among others. Torque sensors with magnetoelastic technology are available in the market from major companies such as ABB (Switzerland) and MagCanica, Inc. (U.S.).
