Torque sensor with digital signal
processing
Kistler Instruments has developed a robust, non-contact torque sensor with integrated digital signal processing called the Type 4504A.
The Type 4504A torque sensor from Kistler Instruments is suited to applications where space is at a premium and operating conditions are far from ideal The sensor is exceptionally slim and the flange-to-flange configuration allows fitting from one side only making it easy to install in-line with a wide range of test-rigs including those for internal combustion engines, transmissions, electric motors and pumps

Compact torque sensors suit many applications
Piezoelectric reaction torque sensors, having high sensitivity, extremely rigid construction and compactness, can be adapted very easily and flexibly to suit a wide variety of installations.
Torque sensors have very wide measuring range
Two new model s have been added to a range of piezoelectric reaction torque sensors, of which each sensor provides an extremely wide measuring range.
High torsional rigidity and precision dynamic response makes the Type 4504A suitable for use wherever reliability, long life and accuracy are demanded.
The torque and speed digital signal outputs minimise the risk of the signals being corrupted by electrical noise from other parts of the rig.
The integrated magnetic speed measuring system is available in two versions, low and high resolution.
The standard, low resolution system uses a simple 60 pulse design whilst the optional, high resolution version uses 180 to 3600 or 128 to 4096 pulses to provide angular resolution down to 0.02 degree at low speeds.
Maximum speed is 15,000 rpm within the torque measuring range of 200 to 10,000 Nm.
The integrated signal processing system provides a data link via an RS-232C interface, in addition to the +/-10V output.
A choice of three frequency ranges is available at the same cost.
The robust Type 4504A torque measuring flange is not susceptible to dirt, grease or oil ingress and is IP54 sealed.
