Best e-bike torque sensors for every season
From cold temperatures to wet roads, uncertain weather is an endurance test for electric bicycle components, such as e-bike torque sensors. In these challenging conditions, high-quality products distinguish themselves from the rest.
A prime example of such resilience and reliability are our IP67-rated e-bike torque sensors.
We'll guide you into a more detailed look at AUTORQ torque sensors and why they can endure despite harsh conditions, especially for e-bike sharing companies.
Precision ensured on e-bike torque sensors
Torque Sensors are an essential part of many e-bike motor systems (mid-motor or hub motor systems). They are used on lightweight e-bikes, such as city, gravel, road, and trekking e-bikes, as well as powerful e-bikes like cargo bikes or s-pedelecs.
As such, torque sensors measure the rider's pedalling force and provide data to the e-bike's control unit. The unit can then adjust the motor's output accordingly.
The AUTORQ torque sensors have two essential characteristics to provide the required precision:
High Signal Stability & Resolution
Up to 80Nm with a linear and stable signal. The active magnetostrictive technology allows signal stability over the product lifetime for the whole torque range measurement.
No recalibration required
Due to the active magnetostrictive technology, the measuring unit has a contactless design with no moving parts, requiring no calibration during the product life.
“The result is an accurate response to the rider’s input. One can, therefore, imagine that problems may arise when a torque sensor fails to function properly. Accordingly, we take great pride in the fact that our torque sensors are renowned for their robustness in all weather conditions,”
Made to be robust no matter the weather
These devices play a pivotal role in the performance of electric bikes, especially in harsh conditions.
“Winter is undoubtedly the most demanding time of the year for bicycle components – a sentiment echoed by many of our customers, especially those in the bike-sharing business,”
So, we have an extensive quality control and testing programme. Additionally, all our employees are enthusiastic bike riders. That helps to improve the products further. To ensure the maximum robustness, we highlight two important features of our electric bike torque sensors:
Waterproof Capabilities to endure
With IP67-rated waterproof capabilities, our torque sensors are engineered to withstand the toughest journeys and the harshest environments.
High-quality Materials & Components
They are equipped with high-quality materials and components to deliver exceptional robustness and consistent reliability. Even after many years of use, torque sensors maintain a consistent functionality.
Benefits for e-bike sharing companies
These mentioned qualities are precious in the context of e-bike-sharing system companies.
An e-bike fleet is constantly in use, gliding busy city streets and facing diverse weather conditions. So, bicycle components are subjected to significant stress, increasing the risk of failures and malfunctions.
However, our torque sensors can provide the following benefits to any e-bike sharing company to prevent the mentioned issues:
consistent performance and reliability, regardless of the intense daily use;
extended durability to any weather conditions;
reduced failure rate compared to traditional sensors;
minimize downtime and reduce maintenance costs;
maximize the availability and profitability of the fleet.
In summary, the AUTORQ torque sensors are essential for e-bike-sharing companies, offering the required reliability, durability, and performance.
