  • Patent number: 12038342
    Abstract: A transducer for measuring the characteristics of a clamping instrument includes a stator which has an annular support adapted to form a substantially cylindrical longitudinal cavity adapted to receive a rotor which is also substantially shaped cylindrical adapted to rotate inside this cavity of the stator around its longitudinal axis, this rotor being provided at one end with a seat for insertion into it of the head of an instrument of tightening which determines such rotation around the axis, and a sensor arranged on its body capable of detecting specific parameters of the tightening of the instrument, and generating corresponding electrical signals. The transducer includes a magnetic coupling device adapted to transfer electrical energy from the stator to the rotor and an optical coupling device adapted to transfer the electrical signals generated by said sensor means from the rotor to the stator.
