Abstract
This article describes the development and the calibration of the photoelastic contactless torque sensor and it also presents the measurement of the starting torque of a disk micro motor, as a function of the rotor angle. Finite element analysis was performed to prove the functionality of the sensor and to determine its required sizes. In order to define the torque—rotor angle characteristics of the micro motor, electromagnetic simulation was also performed and the results were compared to each other.
