Torque Sensors

Measuring torsional mechanical inputs

For the measuring of torque (turning force), Vibrance Solutions offers Kistler torque sensors that use strain-gage and piezoelectric technologies. Their torque sensors offer high-precision measurement of torque and speed or rotation angle on rotating or stationary drive elements. Integral digital transmission techniques with normalized signal outputs allow optimal signal conditioning. Piezoelectric reaction torque sensors are suitable for measuring minute fluctuations in torque with a high degree of overload resistance.

Typical applications for Kistler torque transducers include:

• Screw-driving assembly operations
• Bolting techniques
• Test stand applications such as electric motors, transmissions, pumps and internal combustion engines
• Measurement of friction
• Drive power testing
• Viscosity monitoring
• General functional testing of automotive components
• Bottling plant QA
