Strain transmitter has integral charge
amplifier
The new Kistler piezoelectric strain transmitter has significant advantages over conventional strain gauges, having an integral digital charge amplifier providing a normalised voltage output signal
Also providing a tolerance of high overloads, high sensitivity, IP67 sealing and almost unlimited service life, the new sensor is especially suitable for quality monitoring in volume production environments A single cable carries all connections; signal output, measurement control, range selection serial interface and excitation voltage

Closing force sensor protects moulds from damage
With the new strain transmitter Type 9238A, Kistler now offers a mould closing force sensor that combines the measuring element and the electronics in a single housing
Fixed with one M6 screw, the new Type 9238A strain transmitter can be mounted easily wherever is appropriate and convenient.
Typically, mounted on a machine structure, the transmitter can measure force indirectly through proportional strain.
The new transmitter is especially suited to monitoring production processes such as press fit, riveting and spot welding where the force profile is indicative of the quality of the process, even in dirty and wet conditions.
For applications where a charge output is required, the same sensor is available without the integrated charge amplifier as the Type 9237A strain sensor.
