T12HP is a truly dynamic, EtherCAT-compatible torque transducer for e-mobility test benches that guarantees high precision over your entire measurement range.
T12HP
The T12HP torque sensor combines class 0.02 accuracy with HBK’s FlexRange™ technology, eliminating the need to manually switch the measuring range as seen with typical dual‑range sensors. Engineers can trust the results across low‑amplitude oscillations and high‑load events – making it ideal for transient analyses, NVH studies, and efficiency mapping on e-mobility test benches.
The T12HP torque transducer sets the benchmark for high‑precision dynamic torque measurements, combining exceptional accuracy, unmatched flexibility, high dynamics and carrier‑frequency (CF) accuracy with digital signal conditioning without data loss – in a single sensor.
Traditional dual‑range transducers can introduce a step at the range boundary. All FlexRange™ enabled sensors keep accuracy continuous, maintaining precision and performance without discontinuity – ensuring small signals remain credible even as tests sweep into higher loads.
This continuity is crucial for diagnosing torque ripple, transient behaviors, and load‑dependent phenomena that influence real‑world efficiency and drivability.
The T12HP torque sensor is designed for clean signals with excellent vibration resistance to protect data integrity on demanding test benches. With user‑friendly configuration tools such as T12HP Assistant and CAN parameterization, and a wide measuring range from 100 N·m to 10 kN·m, T12HP maximizes both measurement quality and long‑term investment value.
System integration is straightforward thanks to EtherCAT and PROFINET interfaces when combined with the TIM-EC and TIM-PN modules, respectively. When testing in automotive powertrain labs, you can seamlessly integrate your torque measurements via CAN bus.
The T12HP family consists of a number of variants based on a specific maximum torque range within which specified tolerances and measurement accuracy are guaranteed.

This video explains the innovative FlexRange functionality of our T12HP torque transducer, assuring high accuracy with a single measuring range.
Due to its superior temperature stability with a TC0 of 0.005%/10K the T12HP torque transducer with FlexRange™ capability provides better accuracy over the complete measuring range than any standard dual range torque transducer.
From torque to electric power testing: in this video we will show you how to maximize the investment of your torque sensor by pairing it with the power analyzer of the eDrive series.
We are using a test rig to demonstrate an electric motor test with a torque transducer placed between the drive and the brake. With this test rig, we can control torque and speed to look at the different output states to imitate real world scenarios. To further visualize the benefits of the eDrive system, we have mapped the electrical and mechanical output of an e-motor. Watch the video to check out what it looks like in the software!
