Piezoelectric force sensors are ready to
install
The new ready to install piezoelectric force sensors complement Kistler's existing range of compression and tension elements.
The new ready to install piezoelectric force sensors complement Kistler's existing range of compression and tension elements, and optimise force measurement in press-fit processes with regard to price, simple adaptation, measuring range and compactness Each of the three compact force sensors - Types 9333, 9343 and 9363 with respective measuring ranges of 50, 70 and 120kN - is supplied with 100, 10 and 1% measuring range calibrations

Sensor measures mould cavity pressure indirectly
Cavity pressure is usually measured with the sensor fitted directly in the mould cavity, but Kistler's new PinSens force sensor type 9204 is ideal for indirect cavity pressure measurement
There are flanges on the top and bottom of the press force sensor that enable them to be easily and flexibly installed directly in push rods, punches or rams.
Very low, space-saving direct installation is achieved through one-sided mounting by means of four internal precision threads or by using the hexagon slot screw with threaded insert supplied.
If direct installation is not possible, the sensors can be fitted using a standard or custom adapter.
High-precision coaxial installation, such as in push rods, is possible using a double-sided centring seat.
The sensor has a central hole which enables it to be used in combination with ejection tools.
The lateral cable outlet is protected with a screw on connector cap and is part of the accessories included.
SCS calibration and calibration of additional measuring ranges are available as optional extras.
