HBM reference book offers overview of using torque transducers
Measuring torque correctly
HBM technical experts Rainer Schicker and Dr Georg Wegener have written a 272-page reference book, Measuring torque correctly, which is designed to offer a clear overview of all essential aspects of using torque transducers.
The book describes principle options for torque measurement and deals with the design and application of torque transducers most commonly used today.
The principal methods for measuring torque are described, along with information on how to address and solve problems arising in everyday applications.
