Motor torque measured
20 June 2018
Sensor Technology has supplied a TorqSense system to the Formula Student team at Lisbon’s technical university, the Instituto Superior Técnico, so they can develop a high performance electric motor for their car.
The TorqSense sensor will allow the team to measure the motors’ torque to predict its behaviour once installed in the car. They will be testing motors to their limits in the test bench, so should eventually be able to predict completely how it will perform in all circumstances.
The testing regime has been developed so that the TorqSense will be used in all bench tests to fully model all the performance characteristics of the prototype motor. The tests will go a maximum speed of 20 000rpm and maximum torque of 30Nm.
