Polarity Kistler defines polarity in such a way that an increase in compressive force in a force sensor produces a negative charge. The charge amplifier inverts the sensor signal and, in this case, generates a positive output voltage.
Page 13
Type 5073B… The following approximate formula is adequate for calculating the voltage signal in most cases: = -Q / C At the end of each measuring cycle the negative feedback capacitor is discharged by means of the Reset command and the output signal is set to zero in order to prevent zero drift during measurement.
Device Description 4. Device Description 4.1 Purpose of the 5073B charge amplifier The industrial charge amplifier for multi-purpose (ICAM-B) can be used wherever mechanical quantities are measured with piezoelectric sensors. Piezoelectric sensors produce an electric charge which varies in direct proportion to the load acting on the sensor.
