World Torque Sensors Market Report
The USD 647.1 Million Global Torque Sensor Market to
Grow to USD 1.06 Billion by 2017.
Technological advances in torque sensors have come
at a gradual pace but the accrued improvements in reliability, accuracy,
performance, and longevity have broadened their scope of applications. Torque
sensors have found their way into diverse fields such as telemetry, prosthetics
in medical applications, turbo-engine applications in aerospace, and engines in
electric and hybrid vehicles. Their superior response times also make them ideal
for many electronic applications. End-users have come to realize that if the
force generated along with the torque is reduced, the safety of the machine and
operations can be augmented. Therefore, strict safety regulations in countries
such as the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, and France have
dramatically increased their reliance on torque sensors. Of all the application
industries that have acknowledged the importance of measuring torque, the most
developed is automotive. The popularity of small cars facilitates the
introduction of electric power systems and consequently, torque sensors. As
hydraulic power steering decreases cabin space and raises the load ratio in
small cars, automotive manufacturers are increasingly turning to electric
steering systems, which require torque sensors to monitor the force applied to
them. Further, automobile suppliers can test the operation of fitted ignition
switches as early as in the production stage with the aid of torque sensors.
Apart from automotive, the industrial, T&M, and
medical application markets are also experiencing considerable demand. Customers
in the industrial and T&M sectors prefer innovative methods of monitoring and
testing, which leads not only to a standard rate of replacement but also the
introduction of various types of torque sensors. The rising importance of torque
testing in the assembly of safety-related components and equipment will give a
huge boost to the demand for torque sensors. The market will also get a shot in
the arm with the rapid expansion of aircraft fleet in the Asia Pacific. With
larger numbers of aircraft being manufactured, there will be a corresponding
rise in the sales of torque sensors. The sensors' role in continuously
monitoring and measuring helicopters' operations will also stand in good stead,
as these machines are the primary modes of transport to and from offshore oil
rigs and other remote oil fields. With diminishing supplies of fuel driving fuel
companies to drill in more distant areas, torque sensor companies will find a
vast market in the aerospace end-user sector.
Meanwhile, sensor manufacturers are working on the
integration of diagnostics to the torque module to make it a single unit, as it
will offer the advantages of reduced costs and size and will serve as a
universal module suited to most industrial applications. Advances in technology,
coupled with a drop in prices, have multiplied the applications for torque
sensors modules. In time, torque sensors have started becoming an integral part
of most rotating machines, parts, and device modules. However, this diversity of
applications challenges the manufacturers to orient torque sensors to the
designs of the equipment, device, machinery or instrument where the torque is
used. Knowing the options available to make the connection with the rotating
torque sensor can greatly affect the price of the sensor package. While
sliprings are an economical solution, but inadequate, the more technically
advanced solutions are more expensive. To assess the exact nature of the torque
to be measured, as well the factors that can alter that torque in the effort to
measure it, will have a profound impact on the reliability of the data
collected.
