About S. Himmelstein and Company
S. Himmelstein and Company

Focused solely on torque since 1960, S. Himmelstein and Company designs and manufactures superior torque measurement instrumentation used by design engineers and predictive maintenance professionals worldwide for test, measurement, monitoring, and control requirements.

Himmelstein’s offerings include MCRT® non-contact torque transducers for precision measurement of torque in the manufacture and development of pumps systems, wellheads, engines, transmissions, drivelines, and accessory components. Their products offer highly accurate and reliable measurement of torque in both rotating and static/reaction applications under real-world conditions. Himmelstein is your answer when you need to quantify product performance, validate quality, or monitor and control continuous processes.

Specific to the pump industry, Himmelstein manufactured and engineered a thrustmeter. The thrustmeter provides users with an accurate and reliable measurement of thrust in their system. Not only does this result in more accurate thrust readings across the range of expected operation during performance testing, thrust can be measured in the field to detect unexpected changes.

Standard products include rotating and reaction sensors from 0.07 Nm to 2.5 MNm in virtually every mechanical configuration. They are available with a best combined non-linearity and hysteresis error of less than ±0.01% full scale. All employ state-of-the-art strain gage technology and are calibrated CW and CCW to full capacity in Himmelstein’s ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory. Himmelstein offers a wide array of accredited torque calibration services for their own and other manufacturers’ torque transducers.

Through Himmelstein’s strength of innovative and technologically advanced products, and expertise, they are your go-to for your torque and thrust measurement requirements.
