The Type 9339A/9349A/9369A sensors cover measuring ranges of +/-10, +/-25 and +/-120 Nm, and are suitable for torques from approximately 0.01 Nm.
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, 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 3500C and three-component force measuring sensors.
