In industrial manufacturing and research & development (R&D) applications, accurate measurement of torque, rotational speed, and angular position is a key factor in evaluating the performance, quality, and reliability of drivetrains. Especially for applications involving electric motors, gearboxes, and power test benches, the measurement system must provide high accuracy, stable operation, and easy integration.
The Kistler KiTorque 4552x torque sensor has been developed to meet these requirements, providing an integrated solution for torque, speed, and angle measurement in a single device. The sensor is suitable for both production process monitoring and advanced testing applications in R&D.
The sensor design allows a stator-to-rotor distance of up to 5 mm, enabling more flexible installation. This makes the sensor particularly suitable for integration into existing systems or applications where product quality upgrades are required. This structure reduces mechanical influence on the drivetrain while improving system stability and operational lifetime.
The KiTorque 4552x supports both static and dynamic measurements with high accuracy, featuring the following key technical specifications:
Rotational speed measurement up to 30,000 rpm
Angular resolution up to 8,192 pulses per revolution
Linearity error of approximately 0.03%, ensuring reliable measurement results
Cut-off frequency (–3 dB) of 10 kHz
Analog and digital signal outputs, enabling easy integration into data acquisition systems, PLCs, or test benches
Torque sensors are not only used for testing but also play an important role in production process monitoring. Integrating the KiTorque 4552x helps detect deviations at an early stage, reduce product defects, and optimize process efficiency, thereby contributing to improved product quality and output stability. For these reasons, the KiTorque 4552x is widely used in:
Electric motor testing
Gearbox and drivetrain testing
Combustion engine testing
Power and efficiency test benches in R&D
Torque monitoring in high-precision production processes
