IO-Link is a fieldbus-independent, standardised communication interface that allows for digital, bidirectional point-to-point data exchange. Using standard M12 cables, the T210 can be quickly integrated into existing systems and connected to an IO-Link master. The IO-Link master manages protocol conversion and makes real-time measurement data available to all common fieldbus and automation systems, including EtherCAT and Profinet.  

The new IO-Link interface enables the digital transmission of not only measurement data but also extensive process, diagnostic and statistical information – making it easier to optimise processes and analyse performance in different applications. 

Compact and strain-gauge based, the shaft-style T210 is designed for easy integration into test benches, automation systems, or direct connection to the device under test. Its non-contact energy and signal transmission system ensures long-term reliability and high measurement precision. 

Along with the new IO-Link interface, the torque sensor also includes voltage and frequency outputs for torque, speed, and angle, giving engineers flexibility across a wide range of applications, from development testing to automated end-of-line testing.   

The T210 is available in nine nominal torque ranges from 0.5 N∙m to 200 N∙m, and can be paired with a variety of accessories, including cables and bellows couplings. This makes it simple to integrate into existing setups – or quickly reconfigure for different measurement tasks.
