The development of high-performance electromechanical systems for e-bikes, robotics, and light electric vehicles is exposing the limits of conventional torque sensor technologies. Engineers are often forced into compromises, using sensors that suffer from inaccuracy, latency, and signal drift, which ultimately degrades the end-user experience and increases the total cost of ownership. Traditional sensing methods require complex software filters that mask the user’s true intent, bottlenecking performance at the source.
To meet modern demands for responsive, efficient, and reliable systems, engineering teams need a better way to measure torque. This white paper introduces a paradigm shift for in-product torque measurement: a contactless strain gauge platform (SG3Q) that allows the reference sensor to be integrated directly into the final product. This approach eliminates the performance trade-offs of indirect measurement, providing a robust, scalable, and cost-effective solution for a faster time-to-market.
