Sensors monitor engine pressures
Sensor is mounted in a single M5 tapped hole allowing a high degree of mounting flexibility to facilitate optimal positioning, even in small spaces.
Type 4007 M5 piezoresistive pressure sensors from Kistler Instruments are designed for monitoring absolute pressure in internal combustion engines over a wide temperature range from -40 to +200C Two pressure ranges, 0-5 and 0-20bar, are available

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
These small sensors have direct chip exposure (DCE) to ensure excellent linearity, low hysteresis and a high natural frequency.
The piezoresistive measuring element is exposed directly to the medium and is protected by a perforated metal shield and a special coating resistant to most fuels and oils.
The sensor is mounted in a single M5 tapped hole allowing a high degree of mounting flexibility to facilitate optimal positioning, even in small spaces.
This ease of installation makes the new sensor ideal for high precision measurements in internal combustion engine intakes and hydraulic, lubrication and fuel systems.
Where the highest accuracy is required, optional digital temperature compensation may be specified.
