Tri-axial accelerometers offer high
accuracy
A wide operating range makes the 8766A suitable for a range of noise-vibration-harshness testing and structural analysis applications.
The 8766A series from Kistler Instruments is a family of tri-axial accelerometers offering versatile performance in demanding industrial, automotive and aerospace environments Based on Kistler's PiezoStar shear element design, the accelerometers feature a wide frequency range, extremely low sensitivity to temperature changes and high immunity to base strain errors

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
Melt pressure sensors aimed at extrusion process
The Kistler melt pressure sensors, types 4086/87A and 4096/97A, are designed for measuring pressure in the extrusion process.
The new sensors are half the size and volume of previous types but feature integral hybrid microelectronics to provide high performance.
The very low sensitivity variation over the wide operating temperature range is combined with high measurement resolution, over 94dB of dynamic range and frequency response from 1KHz to 5kHz (5%) on each axis.
The wide operating range makes the 8766A suitable for a wide variety of NVH (noise-vibration-harshness) testing and structural analysis applications in industrial, automotive and aerospace applications, both in test rigs and production.
The low mass, hermetically sealed titanium construction and industry standard four-pin connector ensures long-term reliability and stability at temperatures up to 165C.
The cube design, with threaded mounting holes on three sides, provides flexibility in mounting for both calibration and measurement installation.
The Type 8766A series can be specified with a TEDS (transducer electronic data sheet) interface and a temperature range from -54C to 165C.
