Kistler Models 9167A, 9168A, 9167AB, 9168AB 3-Component Force Sensors
The force sensor contains quartz rings
which are mounted between two steel plates in the transducer class.
Two quartz rings are sensitive to shear and
measure the force components Fx and Fy, while a pair of quartz rings sensitive to pressure measures the component Fz of a
force acting in any direction on the sensor. The electrical charges yielded proportionally to the different components
are led via electrodes to the corresponding connector contacts.
The quartz stack is protected by the rustproof,
tightly welded sensor case. The cable outlet serves to orient the sensor.

• Very slim
• Very rigid
• Easy mounting in structures
