ZigBee-Based Wireless Torque Measuring Gadget

A prototype wireless torque measuring device is designed to measure high-speed rotation torque. The aim of this gadget is to measure torque in harsh environment where physical contact is not possible or very difficult. The gadget is very helpful in new era of wireless industrial applications. It is a non-contact and low power consumption gadget. It is based on wireless ZigBee protocol and very smart to install. The wireless torque measuring gadget is mounted on high speed rotating shaft to measure the torque and send data wirelessly to the receiver. In this paper, the shadow effect and sample rate are also tested to satisfy performance. The feasibility, reliability and experimental results of prototype wireless torque measuring gadget are also discussed below.
