Visit our environmentally controlled room which contains our coordinate measuring machine and see it in action. We purchased and installed the coordinate measuring machine in late 2020. The intended use is to perform extremely accurate measurement of parts manufactured in our machine shop. This will further confirm our parts are within tolerance. Better measurement of our machined parts and tighter control of tolerances will ultimately lead to even better performing torque sensors for you.

Helicopter Accessory Service provided us with this video of our C-Face torque sensor installed on their hydraulic pumps. By using the C-Face, they can accurately verify the pump's performance. Helicopter Accessory specializes in maintenance services for hydraulic accessories fitted to helicopters including servos, pumps, dampers, valves and filter units.

Short on space? Our bearingless torque sensors are designed for use in a wide range of assembly and testing applications. The automotive and aerospace sectors are big users. Applications are also found in industries ranging from power generation and transmission, medical device manufacturing, and process industries. High accuracy makes them ideal for product performance and efficiency verification testing process industries.

Accurately Measure Torque in Tight Spaces with a Bearingless Torque Sensor

A motor and adjustable speed drive builder recently allowed us to take pictures at their location. Their products are known for quality, performance, and durability. Himmelstein is proud to provide them with their ultra-precise torquemeters, torque transmitters, and signal conditioners, among other items. See how we meet the most demanding applications here and elsewhere.

Himmelstein's line of ultra-precise shaft torquemeters brings an advanced level of performance and feature content to inline torque measurement. These units have integrated signal conditioning and provide three analog outputs that are user-assignable and user-settable. They can be used for torque, speed, and horsepower analog outs that are settable from +5 to +10 Vdc. Also included is an RS232, RS422, RS485 digital interface for direct connection to a computer and display of torque, speed, and horsepower digitally and graphically at the computer as well as data collection and storage to the computer. Models are available in ranges from 2.8 Nm to 42,000 Nm. They're also available with different mechanical overload ratings. Available mechanical overload ratings are 200 percent, 400 percent, and even 1000 percent. This provides supreme protection against torsional spikes or peaks that may be seen in different types of applications either with high starting torques or applications where you have large torsional spikes, such as diesel engine testing. We also have a range of models available with a dual-range output so you can have both a high range and a low range fully calibrated output signal to minimize changeover of transducers when testing different sized products or testing under different conditions increasing the dynamic range of measurement of a different transducer. All units feature significant overrange on the electrical output signal. That means we don't have clip at full scale. We allow the electrical output to extend beyond its full scale. So instead of stopping at 10 volts, the electrical output will extend up to 15 volts. The advantage of this overrange is that it will not clip the peaks and it will not affect the accuracy of the average displayed torque. Units are available in standard accuracy configuration of +0.04 percent of full scale, and also an enhanced accuracy configuration of +0.02 percent of full scale. They also feature superb temperature compensation and temperature performance which minimizes impact of temperature change during a test on the output signal. All units are provided with an ISO 17025:2017 NAVLAP accredited NIST traceable calibration certificate and all include noise hardening against EMI from adjustable speed drives.
