Adaptor prolongs IC engine sensor life
Water-cooled switching adapter for use with a wide range of Kistler pressure sensors combines long sensor life and measurement precision when used in exhaust systems of IC engines.
The new Type 7533A water-cooled switching adapter for use with a wide range of Kistler pressure sensors provides a combination of long sensor life and measurement precision when used in exhaust systems of internal combustion engines When activated, the adapter exposes the sensor to the hot gases only for as long as pressure measurements are required

Clamping force tester checks spot welds in-process
A clamping force tester can be integrated with electrode cap machining and weld current checking to monitor spot welding equipment performance and maintenance.
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.
This increases the life of the sensor, especially when used in internal combustion engines with high exhaust temperatures and wide pressure fluctuations.
When deactivated, the sensor is isolated from the hot gases and is exposed only to ambient temperature and pressure.
The switching adapter, in common with Kistler's range of water-cooled pressure sensors, is designed to be water cooled to 50 deg C and the new Type 2621E closed circuit water-conditioning unit can provide temperature control for up to ten sensors and adapters.
