Abstract :
This paper demonstrates our approach for the design optimization of wireless torque sensor with FE simulation tools. Such a system comprises the SAW transducer, a torque transfer clip and the machine´s shaft. The design process was based on construction, modelling and simulation. In order to optimise the performance, the SAW device, the bonding material and the clip were regarded.
