Torque sensor or torque transducer is 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 uses 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 shaft.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the North American market torque sensor with respect to three main parameters, namely type, application, and geography. On the basis of type, the market is segmented into rotary, static/reaction, magneto-elastic, and SAW. According to applications, the market is classified into automotive, industrial, test & measurement, aerospace & defense, and medical. The geographical analysis of this market includes countries such as U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

Apart from a general overview of major companies thriving in this market, this report also provides product portfolio, company share analysis, and recent developments of major players in this industry. Futek Advanced Sensor Technology, Inc., Honeywell, HBM, ABB Ltd., and Crane Electronics are some of the leading players covered in the North America torque sensor market report.

The torque sensor market for automotive and industrial applications is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% and 4.9%, respectively from 2014 to 2019. Factors influencing the growth of the torque sensor market in automotive application include increasing demand of small cars, up gradation of electric power steering, and rise in production of aircraft.

The North America torque sensors market was valued at $318.4 million in 2014, and is projected to reach $452.0 million by 2019, at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2014 to 2019. Among all countries in the North American region, the U.S. is the most dominant country in the torque sensors market, having accounted for 61.8% of market share in 2014, while the torque sensor market in Canada is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.4% from 2014 to 2019.
