New range of accelerometers from Kistler
The range of single axis K-Beam capacitive accelerometers from Kistler Instruments covers a measuring range from 2g to 100g in five models with the option of unipolar or differential output.
A central bore accommodates shafts.
The Type 9339A/9349A/9369A sensors cover measuring ranges of +/-10, +/-25 and +/-120Nm, and are suitable for torques from approximately 0.01Nm.
They offer the ability to measure torque over a range of several decades, an important advantage of piezoelectric sensors over other measuring principles.
The sensors are supplied calibrated for 10% and 100% of the measuring range.
Additional ranges can be calibrated as an option.
High sensitivity, extremely rigid construction and compactness make the new torque sensors suitable for a wide range of research, development and production applications and are especially suitable for assembly applications, e g, monitoring screwing operations or checking that rotary potentiometers, rotary switches and bottle caps, etc, operate within specification.
Correctly installed, piezoelectric sensors suffer neither wear nor fatigue and have a virtually unlimited service life making them especially suited to calibration application.
Established in Wintherthur (Switzerland) in 1957, Kistler is represented in over 50 countries and has subsidiaries in Germany, France, Italy, UK, Japan, USA, China, Korea and Singapore.
Heavy investment in research and development, 15% of staff worldwide are engaged in research and development, has generated a number of innovations using piezoelectric, piezoresistive and capacitive techniques to provide solutions to numerous force, pressure and acceleration measuring problems.
These innovations include the world's first commercial quartz sensor, two-wire constant current technology to integrate sensors with microelectronic circuitry, high-temperature pressure sensors for use up to 3500 deg C and three-component force measuring sensors.
