New Reasonably Priced Basic Line Torque Sensor with Contactfree Signal Transmission
New Type 4520A... Basic Line provides a cost-effective torque sensor based upon strain gage technology. It extends Kistler's wide spectrum of torque sensors for tasks requiring efficient torque measurement. Sensor Type 4520A... is suitable for use in production, quality control and the laboratory.
Transmission of power and data without contact makes the sensor robust and maintenance-free in continuous use. It measures torques in accuracy class 0,5 at speeds up to 10 000 revolutions per minute.
Type 4520A... is offered with rated torques of 1/2/5/10/20/50/100/200/500/1 000 Nom and, in addition to the ±10 V torque signal, features a speed output with 60 pulses/rev. (TTL) as standard plus an externally switchable 100 % control signal.
Evaluation instrument CoMo Torque (Type 4700A...) and PC software SensorTool (Type
4706A) are available for parameter configuration and evaluation.
