Input Shaft
Torque Unit
The Input Shaft Torque Unit is a sophisticated torque measuring system for precise analysis of torque transfer between engine and gearbox. It suits measurement on the connecting shaft (input shaft) or for integration into the release bearing.
Its compact build makes installation straightforward even where space is tight, and it delivers dependable results for performance and efficiency analysis.
Our Input Shaft measuring systems are FIA homologated and approved under Technical List No. 89 Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile for BOP and race use.
Measured where the torque enters the gearbox, with no component in the load path.
