Kistler Model 9241CA3 Quartz Transverse Measuring Pin
Piezoelectric sensor for indirect force
measurement in machine structures, tools, etc. in industrial monitoring tasks. The front part of the sensor is sensitive
to transversal forces. Shaped as a cylindrical pin, all it needs for its installation is a 10 mm borehole.
An
integrated clamping system is used to preload the sensor in the borehole enabling it to detect tensile and compressive
forces in the machine structure. The ceramic-coated body sleeve allows to mount the sensor ground insulated.
Once installed, the
sensor can be calibrated by comparative measurement, e.g. with a calibrating force sensor. The main application field is the industrial
monitoring of machine forces (machine monitoring, tool monitoring, etc.). In combination with a Control Monitor, it can
be used to monitor limit values of forces that are decisive in the safety and reliability of machines and tools.
• Preloading allows measuring compression and tension forces
• Can be fixed in any direction and depth in the mounting bore
• Ground-isolated
