This new transducer is a new, improved version of Kistler's previous model, the 4503A, with the addition of a connecting shaft, for example.
The 4503B torquemeter features many improvements over previous versions, bringing it more in line with the expectations of today's market. The optical component for speed and angle measurement has now been replaced by a magnetic element similar to that used in the new KiTorq system. This modification gives it the robustness and safety needed to operate in industrial environments subject to contamination (e.g. in the oil industry), and saves a considerable amount of maintenance time. What's more, the torquemeter's electronics have been greatly improved. The stopping frequency of the 4503B is 10 kHz for highly dynamic measurements. This value can be adjusted by the user using an integrated "low pass" digital filter, and the second measurement range can be flexibly scaled down to a level of 1/10. Finally, the Type 4503B features wide measuring ranges from 0.2 to 5,000 Nm, and a measuring system that combines rotational speed and angle. A high-speed version is also available, operating at up to 50,000 rpm.
These new torque meters, with their fully digital transmission, achieve a standard accuracy of 0.05 % in addition to the 10 kHz cut-off frequency. Kistler customers benefit from reliable, accurate results, offering them a solution for virtually any application. Compatibility with earlier versions means they can be integrated into existing systems with a minimum of modification and effort.
