QTA163

Transformative miniature that pushes boundaries

The QTA163 rotary torque sensor is a state-of-the art miniature sensor that pushes technical boundaries in applications where torque measurements have previously not been possible.

With a 0.7in × 0.7in (17mm × 17mm) cross section and 2.01in (53mm) length, the QTA163 is the smallest rotary torque sensor offered by FUTEK as a catalogue product. It has a 0.2in (5mm) shaft that can measure torque in situations up to 150 rpm.

Small, yet mighty

The super-small size of this sensor allows integration into systems and devices where space is at a premium. The small cross section allows positioning multiple sensors in an array within narrow spaces as compared to stacking larger torque sensors.

Made to be accurate

QTA163 Miniature Rotary Torque Sensor has a custom-built slip ring inside that allows for the electrical signal to transfer from a rotating component to the stationary stator which is outside housing. High precision machining of the components allows for accurate reading and reliability. A standard 7-pin connector allows data transfer to external electronics for readout and control.

Best-in-class material

The exceptional quality of this sensor makes it highly durable and reliable. Its body is made of aerospace-grade 17-4 precipitation hardened stainless steel, which provides high strength, high hardness, and corrosion resistance over a wide temperature range. The red housing is made of aluminum.

Simple and error-free setup

Incorrect sensor scaling is one of the most common reasons behind erroneous sensor measurements. FUTEK has solved this problem on the QTA163 Miniature Rotary Torque Sensor by equipping it with integrated TEDS as a standard feature. TEDS contains information about the sensor, amplifier setup, sensitivity and reference excitation range. Through auto-scaling, this feature helps to reduce setup errors, and provides for plug and play compatibility.

Calibration included

The QTA163 Miniature Rotary Torque Sensor has been tested by FUTEK’s world-class calibration department and is NIST traceable. We can also reduce hidden costs and setup time by calibrating your sensor with FUTEK electronics of your choice. In addition, we offer calibration to ANSI Z540-1 and ISO 17025 standards upon request.
