Sensor upgrades

Kistler Instruments has upgraded its press force sensor range to provide full consistency for the measuring range 0.1 to 700kN. The piezoelectric sensor element provides a compact design with a low sensor weight.

With three calibrated measurement ranges, the same sensor can be used for a wide spectrum of forces.The feasibility of switching the range when using suitable amplifiers bolsters this advantage. The widerange measuring chain also offers advantages in labs, where frequent changes of sensor are common; the high degree of overload protection eliminates the need for involved protective measures when using the lowest measuring ranges.

The eight force sensors cover measuring ranges from 0.1kN to 700kN and are supplied as standard with 1%, 10% and 100% measuring range calibrations.
