(Hoffman Estates, IL, April 24, 2026) - S. Himmelstein and Company, a leader in torque measurement technology since 1960, announces the release of its MCRT® 84800V and MCRT® 85800V Ultra-Precise Bearingless Digital Torque Sensors, engineered to deliver exceptional real-world accuracy, speed, and reliability in demanding industrial applications.
The torque sensors specifications include 1 kHz measurement bandwidth, and high overload and overrange capability (up to 400% overload and 300% overrange). Additional features include advanced temperature compensation (0.0003%/°F) and high-speed data processing with 7,800 calculations per second.
A carrier amplifier immune to DC drift and low-frequency noise, combined with enhanced resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensures stable performance in electrically noisy industrial environments.
The torquemeters are available in multiple performance grades of +0.04, +0.02, or +0.01 percent of full scale. The system’s bi-directional rotor shunt calibration system verifies the entire measurement chain in both clockwise and counterclockwise operation.
The bearingless design simplifies installation by tolerating wide rotor-to-stator misalignment, eliminating the need for complex alignment tools, and accommodating thermal expansion and mechanical variation.
The MCRT® 84800V and MCRT® 85800V series provides advanced data acquisition and connectivity, including:
• Built-in software for data visualization, limit checking, and test storage
• Selection of 25 engineering units without recalibration
With torque ranges from 250 to 100,000 lbf-in (28.2 to 11,300 Nm), these torque transducers are ideal for automotive and aerospace testing, industrial machinery development, pump systems, powertrain and drivetrain analysis, and research and validation environments.
Additional features include:
• ±5.000/±10.000 V analog outputs
• Max/Min values updated every 128 microseconds• Speed ranges up to ±15,000 rpm
All bearingless torque sensors are designed for ease of installation and operating efficiency and are shipped with NIST-traceable calibration performed in Himmelstein’s ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited metrology laboratory (NVLAP Lab Code 200487).
S. Himmelstein and Company has been delivering innovative torque measurement solutions since 1960, manufacturing a full line of shaft, spline, flange, pulley, wheel, and reaction torquemeters.
