Optimization of torque sensor input parameters and determination of sensor errors and uncertainties

Abstract

This paper introduces the basic knowledge about magnetoelastic torque sensor designed for non-contact measurements. The paper brings results of Institutional project “The development and realization of torque sensor with appropriate equipment.” The optimization of torque sensor working conditions and sensor parameters are presented. The metrological parameters determined by testing showed availability of sensor using in outdoor applications. Another aim of the paper is evaluation of measurement uncertainty. It reviews the procedures currently applied for measurement uncertainty calculation according to ISO Guide.
