Abstract: A torque sensor includes an adjustable platform vertically adjustable to place a sensing module near a rotating target to obtain measurements there from with a sensing element. The apparatus can be configured to include a bottom channel mounted to a base and a PCB tray mounted to a top channel, the PCB tray and top channel vertically adjustable from the base by a rotating shaft. The top and bottom channels are coupled to side bars and side channels in pairs movably connected by joint pins with a rotatable shaft movably connecting said joint pins. The sensing module is movable with respect to the base via rotation of said rotatable shaft causing movement of said pair of side bars and side channels, placing said sensing element nearest a target to obtain rotational movement data.

Abstract: A torque sensor adjustable platform apparatus is configured to include a base with a centering block between two linear grooves. Two sliders slide along the linear grooves under the control of a lead screw. Turning the lead screw causes the sliders to either approach each other or to separate. A PCB tray rides on top of the sliders. The tops of the sliders have retaining grooves keyed to accept retaining rails on the bottom of the PCB tray. The retaining grooves and retaining rails are angled so that the PCB tray moves further from the base as the sliders approach one another. A receiving module fixed into the PCB tray receives a signal from a shaft mounted torque sensor. The lead screw can be manipulated to optimizing the received signal while keeping the receiving module clear of the shaft.
