(S. Himmelstein: Chicago) -- The MCRT 88700V Series Dual-Range Torquemeters from S. Himmelstein accurately measure torque even if the ratio of peak-to-average torque is high. Such conditions occur when starting, stopping, or reversing high inertia loads, during torsional oscillations, and in diesel and single-cylinder engine or compressor drivelines. Under these conditions, a conventional torquemeter must be oversized to avoid damage, a process that greatly reduces accuracy.

The MCRT 88700V will accurately measure low-running and high-load torque without the cost and inconvenience of swapping two or more conventional torque sensors. Additionally, when peak torques are unknown, the MCRT 88700V reduces the risk of damage from unexpected or accidental torque spikes.

Dual Range Torquemeters have high accuracy in real-world applications, not just in the calibration lab. They have the industry’s highest overrange ratings, which avoids clipping real-world torque peaks and driveline torsionals. Without sufficient over range, clipped torques will produce large measurement errors.
