Piezoelectric torque sensors cover wider range

Kistler has extended the range of its piezoelectric reaction torque sensors with the addition of two new models.

Kistler has extended the range of its piezoelectric reaction torque sensors with the addition of two new models.

This family of sensors, which now covers the whole measuring range from 11, 110, 125, 1200 and 11,000Nm, is suitable for torques from approximately 0.001Nm, with each sensor providing an extremely wide measuring range - one of the major advantages of piezoelectric sensors.

The new torque sensors are supplied calibrated for 100% and 10% of the measuring range, with additional calibration ranges available as an option.

The sensors are especially suited to manufacturing process monitoring and can be adapted to most configurations.

Each has an end flange with four or six threaded mounting holes and a centring seat for precise coaxial installation with a central hole to allow a shaft to pass through the sensor.

The high sensitivity, extremely rigid construction and compact dimensions of the sensors make them particularly suited to monitoring applications in assembly processes and product testing where rotary movements are involved.

Typically, screw, bolt or nut tightening to specific torque, rotary potentiometer and switch testing and screw cap fitting.

As piezoelectric sensors are immune from fatigue and wear when properly used, their service life is virtually unlimited making them especially suitable for use as calibration sensors as well as for general torque measurement in both manufacturing and R and D applications.
