Kistler Models 9047B, 9048B, 9046B4 3-Component Force Sensor
The force sensor contains 3 pairs of quartz rings which are
mounted between two steel plates in the sensor housing.
Two quartz pairs are sensitivie to shear and measure the force
components Fx and Fy, while one quartz pair sensitive to pressure measures the component Fz of a force acting on the sensor.
The electrical charges proportional to the different components are led via electrodes to the corresponding connectors.
The quartz packet is protected by the stainless, tightly welded sensor housing.
