Kistler Instruments has added three new measuring ranges to its KiTorq torque measuring system. The new ranges of 100, 200, and 5 000Nm have been added to the existing ranges of 500, 1,000, 2,000 or 3,000Nm measuring ranges. All ranges are available with an accuracy class of 0.05 per cent of range. These additional ranges complete the portfolio for test benches for internal combustion engines, electric motors, transmissions and drive trains.
Rotors of different sizes can be combined with same ringless stator, which allows different items to be tested without the complete reconstruction of the test stand. The ringless stator design speeds up the installation, protects against damage during assembly operations and facilitates visual observation during the test process.
A single, intelligent stator can be used with any KiTorq rotor of the same speed rating and will automatically recognise the rotor measuring range. This minimises hardware investment as one stator may be used with rotors of differing ranges for different applications.
The solid measuring flange is extremely robust and has been tested to EN 60068-2-27 for mechanical shock, EN 60068-2-6 for triaxial vibration loading and EN 61326-1 for interference immunity. The KiTorq system is supplied as standard with SensorTool configuration and diagnostic software and calibration certificates. When replacing an individual rotor or stator, the notional calibration values can be calculated to avoid the need to have the unit recalibrated by the manufacturer. The KiTorq measuring flange is suitable for use in test rigs for electric motors, internal combustion engines, transmissions, pumps and compressors.
