Global Rocker Limit Switches Market: Stable Demand, Wide Range of Applications

Six-dimensional Torque Sensor is a special force sensor that can simultaneously measure three forces (FX, FY, FZ) and three moments (MX, MY, MZ) in a neutral coordinate system. It is widely used in robot control, mechanical experiments, scientific research and other fields, and is also one of the commonly used sensors in industrial robots.

The Six-dimensional Torque Sensor originated from the aerospace industry and is used to measure the aerodynamic characteristics of aircraft, including lift, drag, lateral force, pitch moment, yaw moment and roll moment. Since the orthogonal three-directional forces and three-directional moments need to be measured simultaneously, the Six-dimensional Torque Sensor came into being. With the public's knowledge of the comprehensive mechanical measurement advantages of the Six-dimensional Torque Sensor and the rapid development of technology, the application field of the Six-dimensional Torque Sensor has gradually expanded to detection, prevention, control, teaching, measurement, protection and other scenarios.

Since Musk proposed the concept of humanoid robots in 2021, the Six-dimensional Torque Sensor market has ushered in rapid development. According to the latest research data, the global sales of Six-dimensional Torque Sensors will be nearly 60,000 sets in 2024, of which China's sales will be about 17,000 sets, a year-on-year increase of more than 40%. It is estimated that by 2030, the global market sales will reach 820,000 sets, and China's sales will reach 300,000 sets, with a compound annual sales growth rate of 60% from 2025 to 2030. At present, the global Six-dimensional Torque Sensor industry market is dominated by ATI Industrial Automation, Schunk, Advanced Mechanical Technology, etc., occupying the global core market. Chinese manufacturers such as Yuli Instruments, Kunwei Technology, and Xinjingcheng have also ushered in explosive growth. In 2024, the world's top five manufacturers will account for more than 60% of the market.

According to different measurement principles, they can be divided into photoelectric, strain, capacitive, piezoelectric and other types. Among all force sensors, strain force sensors are the most widely used, and their usage accounts for more than 80% of the total force sensors. At present, companies that use strain force sensors include ATI Industrial Automation, Schunk, ME-Meßsysteme, Sintokogio and almost all players in China.

At present, Six-dimensional Torque Sensors are widely used in collision tests, wheel hubs, seats and other parts tests in the automotive industry, as well as in many scientific and technological fields such as aerospace vehicles, biomechanics, medical fields, scientific research experiments, robots and industrial automation. Among downstream applications, the application scale of industrial automation (including traditional robots) accounts for the largest proportion, but the application scale of humanoid robots grows fastest. According to the latest data, the global compound annual growth rate of humanoid robots from 2025 to 2030 will reach 104%. In the long run, the mass production of humanoid robots will be a major source of growth for the Six-dimensional Torque Sensor market. The application scenarios of Six-dimensional Torque Sensors in traditional robots include force control, force feedback, quality inspection, and dynamic control; the application scenarios in humanoid robots include force control, swing stability control, and safety control. Six-dimensional Torque Sensors can improve the refinement and flexibility of humanoid robot hand operations and the stability of foot walking. They are mainly installed at the end parts of wrists and ankles, and have become the standard of high-performance humanoid robots.

Dimensional force sensors are the highest-dimensional force sensors. With their advantages of high precision, high sensitivity, high bandwidth, and high reliability, they can provide the most comprehensive force information and improve sensing accuracy. They play a vital role in many high-tech fields. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous expansion of downstream application fields, the Six-dimensional Torque Sensor market will usher in broad development prospects.
