Torque sensor suits tough environments
The flange-to-flange configuration of Kistler's 4504A torque sensor allows fitting from one side only, making it easy to install in-line with a wide range of test rigs
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

Sensor measures mould cavity pressure indirectly
Cavity pressure is usually measured with the sensor fitted directly in the mould cavity, but Kistler's new PinSens force sensor type 9204 is ideal for indirect cavity pressure measurement
Melt pressure sensors aimed at extrusion process
The Kistler melt pressure sensors, types 4086/87A and 4096/97A, are designed for measuring pressure in the extrusion process.
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 15,000rev/min within the torque measuring range of 200 to 10,000Nm.
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.
