Aerospace torque sensors are precision devices designed to measure the rotational force or torque applied to shafts and components in aircraft s. They are essential for monitoring engines, gearboxes, rotor assemblies, actuation mechanisms, and other critical drivetrain components across commercial, business, general aviation, and military aircraft. These sensors can be contact-based, such as strain gauge and rotary torque sensors, or non-contact, including surface acoustic wave (SAW), optical, and magnetoelastic technologies, depending on application requirements.
For instance, in January 2023, Honeywell announced a new line of high-precision torque sensors designed for commercial aircraft engines, enhancing real-time monitoring, drivetrain validation, and predictive maintenance in aerospace applications. Moreover, in March 2023, Applied Measurements released a miniaturized torque sensor specifically for UAV applications, offering precise torque measurement in compact, lightweight designs essential for aerospace propulsion s and rotor monitoring.
In addition, Aerospace torque sensors provide real-time, high-accuracy data for both static and dynamic torque loads, supporting design, testing, certification, and in-service monitoring. Their integration with digital twins, IoT platforms, and predictive maintenance s enables enhanced performance optimization, early fault detection, and reduced downtime. With the growing adoption of UAVs, eVTOL aircraft, and more-electric aircraft, aerospace torque sensors are becoming increasingly critical for ensuring safety, reliability, and efficiency, making them indispensable in modern aviation operations.
Advancements in sensor technology, including miniaturization, non-contact measurement, and improved accuracy, are driving demand for aerospace torque sensors, enabling precise monitoring of engines, gearboxes, and rotor s while supporting predictive maintenance and enhanced operational efficiency across aerospace platforms. Furthermore, rise in demand for predictive maintenance, and integration with digital twins and iot platforms have driven the demand for the aerospace torque sensor market.
However, the complex calibration and stringent certification requirements in the aerospace industry are hampering the demand for torque sensors. Extensive testing, precise calibration, and regulatory compliance increase time and costs, limiting adoption, particularly in cost-sensitive segments, despite the sensors’ benefits in real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and operational efficiency. Furthermore, High Cost of Advanced Sensors is hampering the growth of the aerospace torque sensor market. On the contrary, the integration of aerospace torque sensors with smart aircraft s presents a lucrative opportunity, enabling real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and enhanced performance optimization. These sensors support digital twins, IoT platforms, and more-electric aircraft, ensuring reliability, efficiency, and safety, thereby driving adoption across commercial, UAV, and eVTOL aerospace applications.
