Preferably, described magnetic shield is the duralumin, hard alumin ium alloy magnetic shield.
The utility model beneficial effect is: inductive axis of the present utility model, comprise the axis body cylindraceous that is inner hollow, and the outside of axis body forms a plurality of projections, and a plurality of projection is evenly spaced apart along the outside of axis body at circumference; The inboard of axis body is provided with the shackle member be used to the input/shaft that connects and fixes external rotatable parts, inductive axis of the present utility model can be connected and fixed by the input/shaft of shackle member and external rotatable parts, therefore, input/the shaft of inductive axis of the present utility model and external rotatable parts is split-type structural, make inductive axis of the present utility model can make separately standardized structural, installation with the input/shaft of the external rotatable parts that are fit to different size, be after inductive axis of the present utility model can be produced separately, be installed on again the input/shaft of external rotatable parts, thereby simplified the production technology and the cost of production that has reduced torque sensor of torque sensor.
Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the utility model is further described.
Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 2, the inductive axis of torque sensor of the present utility model comprises the axis body cylindraceous 1 that is inner hollow, and the outside of axis body 1 forms a plurality of protruding 2, and a plurality of protruding 2 outsides along axis body 1 are evenly spaced apart at circumference; The inboard of axis body 1 is provided with the shackle member 3 be used to the input/shaft that connects and fixes external rotatable parts, certainly, clamping position on the input/shaft of this shackle member 3 and external rotatable parts is complementary, and inductive axis of the present utility model can be connected and fixed by the input/shaft of shackle member 3 with external rotatable parts.
In the present embodiment, shackle member 3 is inwardly protruded projection, the input of this projection and external rotatable parts/shaft coupling, for example: the input/shaft of external rotatable parts offers the groove that is complementary with described projection, make the input/shaft of inductive axis of the present utility model and external rotatable parts form the combination of concavo-convex teeth groove, thereby the input/shaft of inductive axis of the present utility model and external rotatable parts is connected and fixed securely.Certainly, the input/shaft of inductive axis of the present utility model and external rotatable parts also can be other clamping fixation structure, and for example: for groove is set, and the input/shaft of external rotatable parts is the projection that coupling is set on the inductive axis of the present utility model; Namely be not limited only to the clamping fixation structure that the present embodiment is selected.
Wherein, a plurality of protruding 2 outer race of axis body 1 is equipped with magnetic shield 4, and magnetic shield 4 offers a plurality of sensor port 5; Magnetic shield 4 is the duralumin, hard alumin ium alloy magnetic shield, and the duralumin, hard alumin ium alloy magnetic shield is for adopting the duralumin, hard alumin ium alloy material to make by three-dimensional impact briquetting technology, and its symmetry properties is high, and is easy to install, and cost is low.
The production technology of the inductive axis of the utility model torque sensor, this technique comprises the following steps:

B, the size of original shape inductive axis is carried out fine finishing by fine-processing technique, to reach relative dimensions precision and characteristic requirements;
C, surface treatment is carried out by process of surface treatment in the surface of original shape inductive axis.
Wherein, the raw material powder in the steps A is iron powder or ferroalloy powder, to make the inductive axis of iron or ferro-alloy;
D, on periphery suit magnetic shield 4.
Wherein, the powder metallurgy straight forming technique in the steps A comprises mould punching moulding process and sintering process, and raw material powder is through mould punching moulding process and after the impact briquetting, again through sintering process and sintering is made the original shape inductive axis.After being iron powder or ferroalloy powder process mould punching and sintering, make the original shape inductive axis.
