Robust sensor
25 January 2013
Kistler's robust Type 9217A sensor uses an ultra-sensitive PiezoStar element to provide precise measurement of compression and tensile forces under tough industrial conditions in production process monitoring systems.
Kistler's robust Type 9217A sensor
uses an ultra-sensitive PiezoStar
element to provide precise
measurement of compression and
tensile forces under tough industrial
conditions in production process
monitoring systems.
With a measuring range of ±500 Newtons and sensitivity of a few milliNewtons, the Type 9217A force sensor is suitable for use in production and laboratory applications. The rigid construction ensures the sensor is resistant to lateral forces and has a high tolerance to bending moments, minimising interference effects.
The sensor weighs 16g, has an outer diameter of 8.5mm, length of 28.5mm and an operating temperature range from -80 to +205°C.
