NCTE

NCTE develops, manufactures and markets sensors that measure torque, force, shear and bending in e-bikes, machines, vehicles, medical equipment, wind turbines and in many other industrial applications. Our magnetoelastic technology works completely contactless, is highly reliable and maintenance-free.

Our sensors measure forces completely contactless. How does it work? Through the physical principle of magnetostriction: We introduce a longterm stable magnetic field into the shaft during the production process and measure the change in the magnetic field. NCTE technology therefore requires no strain gauges or telemetry, does not require readjustment and is completely wear-free. And the magnetostrictive sensors provide you with very accourate data in real time – even in challenging environments: You can use our products under water, in oil and in difficult weather conditions.


The advantages of NCTE sensors at a glance

  • An existing component becomes a primary sensor – no additional components or strain gauges are required
  • Very easy to integrate into existing systems
  • Non-contact measurements
  • no maintenance required
  • Real-time torque, bending and shear data
  • Very robust and precise over a long period of time
  • Both standard solutions and tailor-made sensors are possible
  • Reliable even at extreme temperatures, strong vibrations, under water and in an oil bath

NCTE is a technology company that masters series production and develops highly specialized solutions for its customers. We have been researching and working in the field of sensor technology since 2003, have been granted more than 20 patent families and are ISO 9001 certified. NCTE is your partner for innovative torque sensors. We help you make your products even more efficient and safe.

Magnetostriction how our technology works

For our innovative approach we use the principle of magnetostriction. This principle is based on an interesting physical process: The length of a body changes under the influence of an external magnetic field. Our technology uses the so-called inverse magnetostrictive effect.
When a force acts on a magnetically encoded component, the magnetic field changes. We can observe and measure this – directly, stably over a long period of time, very accurately and reproducibly even under difficult external conditions. The NCTE solution works at very low field strengths, the component itself does not become a magnet.
