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.
