Torque measurement without brake

The solution is inertial measurement

Torque measurement without a mechanical brake is a necessity in many modern production lines.

Increasingly tighter cycle times require smarter testing methods.

Where the cycle time is limited and it is not possible to install a mechanical brake, an alternative method is needed to verify the torque delivered by the motor.

The answer is inertial measurement, a system that allows torque estimation during the rotor’s acceleration phase, without requiring the DUT to be connected to a mechanical brake.

WHEN YOU CAN’T BRAKE, MEASURE BY ACCELERATING

Torque measurement without a mechanical brake is based on analyzing the rotor’s acceleration to estimate the motor torque in real time.
this approach is perfect for production lines where it is not possible to stop or install a physical braking system.

Main advantages:

No mechanical brake
Optimized cycle times
Immediate analysis and integration into the process

It is particularly useful in end-of-line testing, where speed, precision, and integration with existing production flows are needed.

RAPID FAULT IDENTIFICATION

The system enables immediate fault detection.
