Non-contact torque sensor PTO Sensor 7300 as Plug & Play for Agriculture 4.0.

NCTE is launching a new non-contact torque sensor for tractor power take-off (PTO) drives, completing its portfolio in the agricultural sector. The compact sensor is equipped with the 1 3/8″ 6-piece spline standard for immediate use and can be mounted between the tractor and attached agricultural machine without tools.

The PTO Sensor 7300 features high accuracy up to ± 0.5% and a torque range up to 3000 Nm. In addition, the new sensor has integrated speed detection and IP65 protection for the robust environmental conditions in agriculture.

Using magnetostriction, the sensor measures loads and load changes on the drive shaft of water pumps, mowers, loader wagons and many other agricultural attachments without contact. With a laptop via plug & play (only one USB cable) or via analog output signals, users set up a control loop and adjust their cultivation machines in a demand-optimized and efficient way.

The new precision pressure transmitter by STS packs state-of-the-art technology in a durable miniature package and is particularly suitable for demanding measurement tasks in test and measurement applications.
