I have a drive shaft connected to a torque sensor but to avoid damage I must constrict the linear motion to pure rotational motion of the shaft. Although the displacement of the shaft is a few millimeters, the force will be quite huge. How do I convert the linear and rotational motion of this shaft to pure rotational motion without sacrificing the torque output?
Dear Mustafa Kapadia ,
you should share a sketch of your set-up.
You may be able to put the part of the torque sensor, which is normally mounted on the stator, on a slide*) being able to carry the torque sensor parallel to the shaft displacement.
Nevertheless a sketch will be helpfull...
*) carriage guide, even provided with a linear roll bearing; for small displacements a mount on a leaf spring may also help.
Best regards
G.M.
