Torque Sensors for Test Stand Technology, Motive Power Engineering, Process Monitoring and Quality Assurance

When torque rods or fast running drive shafts are used, knowledge of the torques occurring provides information about the static and dynamic loads on machinery. In addition, when this knowledge is combined with engine speed measurements, it becomes a simple matter to determine the power of a drive train.

The new product brochure “Torque Sensors” clearly illustrates the current Kistler range of piezoelectric torque sensors and torque sensors based on strain gage technology. This document outlines the most important applications and provides a brief explanation of the construction and method of operation of the sensors. Clear tables help the reader to determine which sensor is suitable and which accessories are required.

The brochure, which is aimed at measuring engineers, quality assurance personnel as well as manufacturers and operators of testing systems, is available in German and English.
