Measuring torque is fundamental to many machines, test rigs and other engineering installation. Here, Tony Ingham runs through the basics. Driveshafts deliver power as a rotary force, and in most applications there is a need to know the amount of power in the system. But getting measurements from a turning shaft requires some engineering ingenuity.…
