1 mN ... 10 MN 3 µg ... 100 000 g – Kistler piezoelectric force sensors are Kistler accelerometers are exceptionally robust and overload proof, as well small and light and capable of measur- as offering a measuring range of sev- eral powers of ten. Even with an ini- tial load of hundreds of kiloNewtons, they can detect forces as small as a few Newtons.– Force sensors generally consist of a ing even the minutest accelerations, vibrations and impact shocks reliably over a wide frequency range.– These extraordinarily high resolution sensors are constructed with Titanium housings, hermetically sealed connec- tors and Kistler‘s own PiezoStar crys- tals. The miniaturization of the sensor mass is vitally important, particularly number of quartz wafers hermeti- cally sealed into a special stainless steel housing. The measuring signals are transmitted to the outside by for taking measurements from small high performance connectors.– Pressure sensors can be combined to create special dynamometers for measuring cutting forces in metal specimens.– For measurements in the extremely low frequency range, Kistler produces capa- citive sensors that can also detect very slow movements in lateral acceleration (e.g. during cornering). processing, wheel forces in automo- tive research or reaction forces in biomechanics. – 19
