Abstract

The invention discloses a dynamic torque sensor based on capacitance, which comprises a shell, an elastic shaft, two bearings, two static substrates, two dynamic substrates and two capacitor sets which consist of two excitation capacitance static electrodes, two inductance capacitance static electrodes and two dynamic electrodes and are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the elastic shaft. Along with the rotation of the shaft, the relative position of the shaft and the shell is changed, and capacitance signals of the capacitance sets, which are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the shaft, are changed according to a certain regular period. When the elastic is rotated by torque force, the capacitance signals at both ends of the shaft can generate a phase difference, and a relation between a capacitance difference and a torque is established by detecting the capacitance difference value so as to achieve the measurement of the torque, the rotating angle and the rotating speed. The dynamic torque sensor has the advantages of no contact, high precision, low cost and long service life, and is suitable for the industrial automation field of high rotating speed environment.
