What is the technology?

Magna-lastic is MDI's revolutionary non-contact torque sensing and control technology that employs unique magneto-elastic principles covered by U.S. Patents. MDI's Magna-lastic torque sensing technology provides a simple, repeatable, and reliable means of accurately measuring torque in an engineered system.

MDI has developed a method of torque sensing that sets the new standard. Using magneto-elastic principles, it is now possible to incorporate low cost, reliable, and accurate torque sensing and control into virtually any system or machine. This system is thermally and mechanically stable, employs no slip rings, and is resistant to shock and vibration.

Did you know?

Magneto-elastic principles are very basic. With a minimum of components and complexity, there are fewer parts to wear out and less of a chance for adverse environmental influence. The simplicity of the design makes it a rugged, cost effective torque measurement solution. Unlike other torque measurement devices, the MDI solution does not require frequent recalibration.

From power tools to oil rigs, MDI’s Magna-lastic technology fits numerous applications where torque control is critical. This sensing technique creates an easily measured magnetic field proportional to torque with a stable zero point. From adding feature content to a kitchen appliance, to enhancing the safety and efficiency of aircraft and automobiles, MDI's Magna-lastic technology can make a difference.
