Torque sensor

BRLTSX brushless torque sensors are designed for torque measuring applications where accuracy and reliability are the main concerns. The manufacturer says the product is suitable for measuring torque on pulse tools with strong vibrations while delivering consistently accurate readings when compared to brush-style sensors which can bounce on the armature slip rings.
