Wireless signal transmission
16 May 2016
The Basic Line Torque Sensor from Kistler Instruments uses FM wireless technology to transmit the signal from the rotating shaft and so eliminates the signal distortion and loss inherent in slip-ring sensors. This product provides the maintenance and reliability advantages of contactless signal transmission at around the same cost as slip-ring technology.

The Kistler Type 4520A, a strain gauge torque sensor for use at speeds up to 10,000rpm, is available in ten ranges from 1 to 1000 Nm all with ±10 V analogue signal output, a TTL speed signal at 60 pulses/rev, an overload capacity of 150% and an external 100% range check input are all standard.
The high frequency response and robust anodised aluminium body giving IP40 protection makes the Type 4520A ideal for static and dynamic measurement of rotating torque in assembly and quality control in production and for R&D applications in the laboratory.
