490A: Torque Transducer

The 490A series of isometric torque transducers are a series of rotational load cells that are designed primarily to enable in-vivo contractile measurements made across the joints of various animal models. The 490A is an excellent choice for basic isometric measurements such as twitch, tetanus, force-frequency and fatigue when cost or throughput is a major consideration. Each torque transducer model is capable of measuring applied torque in both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions. The torque sensor heads are exceptionally durable, yet still offer the same low compliance and sensitivity as our motorized 300 series.
