The torque of the main drive system is one of the most important force and energy parameters of the rolling mill, and the strain type torque online telemetry system is a practical method for measuring torque parameters. The strain gauges and transmitters on the rotating shaft are driven by a high-frequency induction power system. Their installation, debugging, and maintenance are cumbersome, and their very low power transmission efficiency (PTE) has become a challenging problem for online telemetry systems. In this paper, a magnetic coupling resonant wireless power supply method is utilized to replace the high-frequency induction power supply. Through theoretical and experimental research, it is concluded that the magnetically coupled resonant wireless power supply method can realize long-distance power supply, overcoming many shortcomings of the high-frequency induction power supply system. In the laboratory, a maximum PTE of 83.7% is obtained for a transmission distance of 50 mm. Under the influence of environmental factors common for the transmission shaft of a rolling mill, the PTE decreases by 34%, but normal operation of the system can be achieved by adjusting the compensation capacitance. The proposed system provides a guarantee for a long-term stable power supply on the measured axis of a rolling mill torque online telemetry system.
