S. Himmelstein and Company has been designing and manufacturing the world’s best torque measurement transducers and instrumentation since 1960. Our products offer you significant advantages, reduce machinery downtime and enhance the overall performance of your system under real-world conditions, not just in the calibration stand.

S. Himmelstein and Company’s ultra-precise torque sensors provide an accuracy at .01%. Torque ranges from 10 ozf-in to 4,000,000 lbf-in are available. You can select from 200%, 400%, 500% and 1,000% overload models. The flexibility to select sensor mechanical overload allows optimal sizing of the sensor to suit the application, even in the presence of peak torques that exceed the average running torque. This ensures the best measurement accuracy for the application. We are happy to provide you with assistance in sizing/selecting the proper torque sensor.

All Himmelstein torque transducers and instruments with high-level DC analog output voltages have significant electrical overrange (130% to 300% depending on model). This means that the output signal does not clip at full scale. All rotating mechanical systems have oscillatory signals. When operating at or near full scale, insufficient overrange on the output signal will cause clipping of the peak values and result in an incorrect display of the average torque. By offering significant electrical overrange, Himmelstein transducers provide accurate measurement, even beyond full scale.

Himmelstein bearingless torque flanges are the best choice for dynamic measurement and control. That's because the world’s highest torsional stiffness yields wider installed bandwidth and faster installed response than any competitive device. Our flanges also feature the industry’s highest overrange and greatest isolation from clamping and other extraneous loads. Those features reduce errors from clipped torque peaks and parasitic loads.

Superior temperature compensation results in sensor temperature performance that greatly reduces errors caused by drive heating and thermal gradients. This level of temperature performance allows S. Himmelstein and Company to offer dual-range torque transducers with high accuracy.
