This new sensor is a new and improved version of Kistler's previous model, the 4503A, which also includes, for example, a binding shaft.
The 4503B torquemeter has many features that have been improved compared to previous versions, making it more in line with current market expectations. The optical speed and angle measurement component is now replaced by a magnetic element similar to that of the new KiTorq system. This modification gives it the robustness and safety needed to operate in industrial environments prone to contamination (for example, in the oil industry), and significantly saves maintenance time. In addition, the electronics of this torque meter have been greatly improved. The 4503B's stopping frequency is 10 kHz for high-dynamic measurements. This value can be adjusted by the user using a built-in "low pass" digital filter, and the second measurement range can be staggered flexibly to a level of 1/10. Finally, type 4503B is characterized by wide ranges of measurements ranging from 0.2 to 5,000 Nm and a measurement system combining rotational speed and angle. There is also a high-speed version that works up to 50,000 rpm.
These new torquemeters, with their fully digital transmission, achieve a standard accuracy of 0.05% in addition to the 10 kHz cut-off frequency. As a result, Kistler's customers benefit from reliable, accurate results, offering them a solution that is practically tailored to each of their applications. Compatibility with earlier versions obviously allows them to be integrated into existing systems with minimal modifications and effort.
