Custom Torque Sensor, B5
Application Use
The QTA158 is a custom ultra low-profile reaction torque sensor engineered specifically for high-volume OEM robotic applications. Designed for integration into robotic joint drive systems, this sensor enables accurate torque feedback for precision motion control. Its through-hole form factor and compact geometry make it ideal for embedded use in robotic joints where space is highly constrained and performance is critical.
Design
With an ultra-low profile of just 10.25 mm in height, a 45 mm inner diameter, and a 72 mm outer diameter, the QTA158 offers a highly compact form factor optimized for tight integration. Its lightweight construction—only 23 grams (0.05 lb)—minimizes inertia, making it ideal for dynamic robotic applications. The aluminum flexure provides a balance of strength and weight efficiency for demanding environments.
The sensor is rated for a torque capacity of 60 N·m and supports safe overloads up to 200% of its rated output. Designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -60°F to 200°F (-51°C to 93°C), the QTA158 is equipped with a 4-conductor, spiral-shielded silicone cable measuring 600 mm in length, ensuring robust signal integrity in high-vibration or noisy environments.
Customization
FUTEK offers custom low-profile torque sensors specifically designed for integration into strain wave (harmonic) gear assemblies, delivering closed-loop feedback with exceptional flexibility in lightweight and compact form factors. As demand for collaborative robots (Cobots) continues to rise, FUTEK’s engineering team has developed advanced torque sensing solutions that improve functional safety, accuracy, and responsiveness in human-robot collaboration.
These sensors are highly customizable, including mechanical envelope and form, fit and function, output range, electrical interface, and connectorization—whether you require custom cabling, embedded electronics, or tailored communication protocols. Designed to meet stringent industry standards such as ISO 13849 for functional safety, they support a new level of intelligent, collaborative robotic system design.
