Torque sensor or torque transducer is an electronic device that converts the torque applied to a rotating or static device into an electrical signal. They are used to measure both reaction torque and rotary torque. Torque sensors exist in many measuring ranges for both reaction (static) and rotary (dynamic) torque.

Reaction torque sensors are designed using a strain gauge mounted strategically on the shaft. As the shaft deforms under the applied torque, the resistance in the strain gauge either increases or decreases, causing a change in voltage. Rotary torque sensors are a bit more complicated in their design, as the rotating shaft needs a slip-ring or non-contact rotary transformer to transmit the strain-gauge signal from the rotating shaft to the static part.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the European torque sensors market. This report includes revenue forecast, market trends and opportunities, and competitive landscape of key players profiled in this report. The market analysis is conducted on various market segments derived on the basis of type, application, and geography. On the basis of type, the market is segmented into rotary, static/reaction, magneto-elastic, and SAW.
