Magnetoelastic torque sensor having a magnetised sleeve as the primary sensor

Abstract

A torque sensor for measuring a torque on a shaft using the measuring principle of inverse magnetostriction, on which a magnetised sleeve is fastened as the primary sensor. The sleeve is provided with at least two circumferential portions which are arranged at an axial distance from one another and magnetised in opposing directions and interact in a contactless manner with respective measuring coils arranged fixedly opposite hereto for acquiring measured values. The magnetised sleeve consists of a non-magnetic carrier sleeve part, on the outer lateral surface of which the magnetized circumferential portions are attached by deposition welding of a ferromagnetic material.
