<strong>Torque</strong> measurement applicationsDr. Staiger Mohilo‘s core competency isstrain gage technology for sensors forstatic and dynamic measurement. Closeongoing collaboration with research andindustry ensures continuous developmentof measurement technology and sensor designs.Noncontact digital signal transmissionfrom rotor to stator, integrated signalconditioning, interfaces such as CAN busand RS-232C, and normalized analog andfrequency outputs make integration intoexisting test systems easier for the user.Electric motor testingThe mechanical and electrical characteristics,thermal design, overload capacity andall technical data of electrical machinery aresubjected to intensive testing. The determinationof efficiency and power factor inparticular impose tough demands on theaccuracy and flexibility of a test system.<strong>Torque</strong> sensors play a central role.Accurate measurement of torques appliedto rotating drives and components is animportant criterion for effective productdevelopment and reliable quality assurancein production and assembly. Kistler’s versatileuniversal torque sensor, Type 4503A…,opens up a multiplicity of applicationsacross this sector.Production processmonitoringAccurate measurement of torques appliedto rotating drives and components is animportant criterion for evaluating manufacturingefficiency and quality assurancein production and assembly.These days process monitoring demandscomprehensive, traceable acquisition ofmeasurement results from torque sensorsystems.Examples include:• Automated screw connection processes• Viscosity monitoring• Measurement of friction coefficients inproduction control4 www.kistler.com
Research and developmentThe development of internal combustionengines and gearing, and test rig simulationas a means of investigating drive trains, requirea robust, high-precision torque sensor.A short, highly torsionally rigid design isalso needed to map dynamic load cyclesonto a realistic operating profile. The torquemeasuring flange, Type 4504A…, has beenspecially tailored to these requirements.Product testingEach and every assembly step in the productionof safety components is monitoredwith sensors. Automobile suppliers can onlyguarantee their components will work properlyby testing their production as a reliablemeans of avoiding the customer sufferingfailures.Testing ignition switches withtorque sensorsThe operation of mounted ignition switchescan be tested at the production stage withthe aid of torque sensors. The torques requiredto turn their spring-loaded componentsmust remain within specified tolerances.www.kistler.com 5
