Piezoelectric Force Sensor for Joining Press and Test Equipment Monitoring

With a wide dynamic range of 0 to 700 kN, the Kistler Type 9393A is designedto measure both dynamic and quasi-static forces. The sensor is offered in threecalibrated measurement ranges of 0-100, 0-10 and 0-1 percent. The compactdesign of the Kistler Type 9393A features a diameter of 145 mm and a height of190 mm with flange connections on both ends, providing greater flexibility foreasy mechanical adaptation within various machinery environments. The Type9393A is also rotationally symmetrical in shape with a center hole, allowingfor the mounting of connecting rods or for installation on a press plunger.Units are factory preloaded, shipped as a standard calibrated unit and areready-to-mount for immediate use, with supplied centering rings for necessaryaxial adjustments. In addition, the Kistler Type 9393A is available withoptional calibration by the Swiss Calibration Service (SCS).

As a piezoelectric sensor, the Kistler Type 9393A is capableof high-repeatability precision measurements over a dynamic range, allowing thesame press force sensor to be used within a variety of applications when pairedwith a suitable amplifier, such as the ICAM Type 5073A. When using theKistler Type 9393A piezoelectric force sensor at a lower measurement range, anoverload protection factor of up to 100 is provided, eliminating the need forother protective measures.
