A new piezoelectric press force sensor
with a measuring range of up to
700kN extends the scope of Kistler
Instruments’ force sensors from 100N
to 700kN. Designed for measuring
dynamic and quasistatic forces, the
range is supplied pre-loaded and
calibrated for three ranges.

An overload factor of 100 obviates
the need for expensive protection.

Sensors are protected to IP65 with
detachable cable or IP67 with a
welded cable.

The constant accuracy of the
piezoelectric element allows a single
sensor to be used over a wide load
range. Typically, the 700kN sensor
has three calibrated ranges; 7kN,
70kN and 700kN. Flexibility may be
extended using the range switching
capability of the Kistler ICAM charge
amplifier. This wide measuring range
makes the sensors suited to
production and measuring stations
handling a wide variety of
components.
