Industrial Application of Magnetoelastic Force and Torque Sensors

Due to their sensitivity, robustness and the flat shape, the magnetoelastic sensors create new possibilities of industrial applications. This paper presents the results of the field tests of using the magnetoelastic sensors with amorphous alloy ring-shaped cores for ignition detection in locomotive's diesel engines as well as measurements of the torque during the operation of ball valves. Presented results confirm usability of amorphous alloy based, magnetoelastic sensors for specific industrial applications.
