Understanding MTX Torque Sensors

What Is an MTX Torque Sensor?

The MTX is a reaction torque sensor designed to measure applied torque during testing and verification activities.

Unlike a rotary torque sensor, a reaction torque sensor remains stationary while measuring torque applied to the sensor.

Why Use a Reaction Torque Sensor?

Reaction torque sensors are commonly used when torque measurement is required without rotation of the sensor body.

They are frequently used in:

Calibration applications
Torque verification programs
Hand tool testing
Power tool testing
Quality control environments

What Makes the MTX Different?

The MTX combines the following features to support testing, calibration, and verification applications:

Reaction torque measurement
Compatibility with Mountz torque analyzers
Multiple torque capacities
Support for calibration activities
Support for quality control programs

Reaction Torque Sensors vs. Rotary Torque Sensors

Mountz offers both reaction torque sensors and rotary torque sensors.

Reaction Torque Sensors (MTX)

Reaction torque sensors remain stationary while measuring applied torque. They are commonly used for:

Torque verification
Calibration activities
Hand tool testing
Quality control inspections

Rotary Torque Sensors

Rotary torque sensors are designed to measure torque while rotating and are commonly used for:

Power tool testing
Rotary applications
Torque and angle measurement applications

Selecting the appropriate sensor depends on the application requirements and testing method.

Available Models

The MTX product family includes multiple torque capacities designed to support:

Hand tool testing
Power tool testing
Calibration applications
Torque verification programs
Quality control initiatives

Refer to the MTX product page and datasheet for complete model listings, torque capacities, and specifications.

Setup & Adjustment
