Matrix Test & Measurement proudly represents the products of
S. Himmelstein & Company.

In the early 1960's, Mr Sydney Himmelstein patented the Rotary Transformer method of providing power to and receiving signals from strain-gages on rotating shafts. His torquemeters incorporating this invention quickly overtook the old, troublesome, brush-contact method in wide use at the time.

Thus began 60 years of Torque Measurement innovation from this Chicago-based manufacturing company!

* Rotational Speed measurement integral to the torquemeter.
* AC Strain Gage Amplifier development
* Integration of AC Amplifier circuitry inside the torquemeter housing
* True Mechanical Shaft-Power meters
* Development of special-purpose torquemeters for measuring automotive wheel torque, pulley-torque, splined-assembly torque...
* Transmitter-output (4-20 mA) versions
* Short, bearingless torquemeters, etc.

Today, S. Himmelstein & Company  has an impressive array of Torque Measurement products. Dozens of styles. A wide range of sensitivities. And many different electrical/electronic interfaces.
All supported by the world's largest & most certified Torque-Calibration Laboratory.
