Torsion Load Cell – Precision Torque & Rotational Force Measurement
Explore Torsion Load Cells for accurate torque and rotational force measurement. Sensors and Gauges supply high-precision torsion load cells, digital indicators, and custom solutions for industrial applications.
A Torsion Load Cell is engineered to measure torque or twisting forces on rotating shafts, couplings, and machinery. Unlike standard load cells that measure linear force, torsion load cells convert rotational stress into an electrical signal for precise monitoring. At Sensors and Gauges, we supply torsion load cells, digital indicators, and transmitters—offering complete measurement solutions for industrial testing, machinery monitoring, and R&D applications. This guide explains types, features, pricing, and benefits of torsion load cells.
What is a Torsion Load Cell?
A Torsion Load Cell (also called a torque sensor or rotary load cell) measures the torque applied around a rotating axis. It is widely used in applications requiring rotational force monitoring, including automotive testing, industrial machinery, robotics, and aerospace engineering.

FAQs
Q: What is the difference between torsion and standard load cells? Torsion load cells measure rotational forces (torque), while standard load cells measure linear forces (tension or compression).
Q: Can torsion load cells be used on live rotating shafts? Yes, rotary transformers or wireless torsion load cells allow measurement on rotating shafts without stopping the machinery.
Q: Are torsion load cells suitable for outdoor use? Yes, IP-rated models withstand harsh and industrial environments.
Q: Do torsion load cells come calibrated? Yes, all Sensors and Gauges torsion load cells are supplied with calibration certificates.
