Product testing Switches, plugs, springs Kistler Press Force Sensors are distinguished by high rigidity and a high natural frequency. The effective, useful frequency range is however determined by the natural frequency of the entire measurement setup. The high resolution capacity permits the measurement of minuscule dynamic changes, even with large forces.

Operation Quasistatic measurements With the piezoelectric measuring principle, purely static measurements over any length in time are not possible. Because the charge amplifier is not an ideal component, the charge stored in the range capacitor is not retained for an unlimited time. Leakage currents produce a drift in the order of magnitude of ±0,05 pC/s.
Press Force Sensor Type 9340A1, Retrofit Set Type 9819A… Tips for good measurands Always store the measuring instruments in the same room in which measurements are to be carried out. Keep the connecting cable connected to both the sen- sor and the measuring instrument.
If it is possible to remove the force measurement assembly, without influencing the pretension and load distributing of the force sensor, the assembly can be sent to a Kistler Calibration Centre for recalibration. If, however, the sensor is integrated into the machine structure, it normally is not possible to remove the force measurement assembly for recalibration.

Annex In their dynamic behavior, piezoelectric sensors are superior to all other measuring methods. Their high rigidity results in the highest possible natural frequencies. Piezoelectric sensors are thus ideal for measuring measurands which change rapidly over time. Their dynamic behavior is thereby largely determined by the surrounding structure.
