== Applications ==

Dynamic torque sensors are used in various industries due to their precision and reliability. They are used in Automotive Industry where [[engine]] and [[Transmission (mechanical device)|transmission]] testing, [[vehicle dynamics]] analysis, and development of [[electric vehicle]] (EV) [[Drivetrain|drivetrains]] is done.

They are further used in Aerospace where [[Aircraft engine|aircraft engines]], [[Propeller|propellers]], and rotor systems are tested, ensuring safety of aerospace components.

They are also used in monitoring torque in [[Wind turbine|wind turbines]] and [[Tidal power|tidal energy systems]], increasing their efficiency.

Industrial Automation and Robotics uses them in monitoring torque in robotic joints, industrial machinery, and automation systems. Thus, their [[Safety|operational safety]] and performance is enhanced.

Lastly, in Research[[research and Developmentdevelopment]] they are important for laboratories involved in material testing, mechanical research, and dynamic machinery analysis.

== Technical specifications and performance criteria ==

Dynamic torque sensors are distinguished by their [[Specification (technical standard)|technical specifications]] and performance criteria. They are then accordingly considered suitable for specific applications:

* [[Sensitivity (electronics)|Sensitivity]]: Small changes in torque are detected by sensor.

* [[Accuracy and precision|Accuracy]]: Degree to which sensor measurements reflect true torque values.

* [[Resolution of singularities|Resolution]]: Smallest detectable increase in torque.

* [[Frequency response|Frequency Response]]: Range of frequencies over which the sensor accurately measures dynamic torque.

* Temperature Stability: Accurate measurements maintained by sensor across varying temperatures.

* [[Calibration]] Standards: Adherence to internationally recognized calibration standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM) ensuring consistent measurement accuracy.

== Calibration and maintenance ==

Proper calibration and maintenance of dynamic torque sensors is vital to guarantee their accuracy over time. Both static and dynamic calibration methods are included to maintain sensor accuracy. Furthermore, compliance to recognized calibration standards, such as [[International Organization for Standardization|ISO]] and [[ASTM International|ASTM]] would ensure consistency across measurements. Regular inspection, cleaning, recalibration, and proper handling is also crucial to extend lifespan of [[sensor]].
