High pressure sensor resists 400 deg C
The rugged construction of a high temperature pressure sensor makes it ideal for use on gasoline or diesel multi-valve engines both in the test-cell and for in-vehicle investigations.
The new Type 6052C high temperature pressure sensor from Kistler combines small, M5 size with rugged construction making it ideal for use on gasoline or diesel multi-valve engines both in the test-cell and for in-vehicle investigations The sensor is capable of operating at up to 400 deg C and is ideal for thermodynamic investigations up to the knock limit of the engine

Compact torque sensors suit many applications
Piezoelectric reaction torque sensors, having high sensitivity, extremely rigid construction and compactness, can be adapted very easily and flexibly to suit a wide variety of installations.
The front seal design provides direct heat dissipation from the diaphragm to ensure optimal thermal conditions at the sensor element.
A version is also available for use in heavy knock applications or at very high pressures, and a third version, with additional damping, is available for use where extremely high vibration levels are encountered, such as high performance, racing engines.
All Type 6052C sensors may be specified with PiezoSmart automatic sensor identification to simplify installation, especially in multi-sensor applications.
