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.
