Page 21: Usable Frequency Range
Operation Usable frequency range At the upper frequency limit the frequency behaviour of the dynamometer shows oscillation with relatively little damping. Frequencies up to about one-third of the natu- ral frequency can be resolved without excessive measur- ing errors. The lower frequency limit is determined by the drift of the charge amplifier and the quality of the insulation. - Page 22 Ceramic-Microvibration Dynamometer Type 9236A… Rule The better the mounting of the measuring device (force link, dynamometer) on a base structure and the firmer the attachment of the force introduction parts – the higher is the resonant frequency and the wider is the usable fre- quency range.

Page 23: Temperature Influences
Operation 5.4 Temperature influences The temperature coefficient of the sensitivity (sensitivity change with temperature, the entire dynamometer being at the same temperature) is negligibly small. Temperature changes on the other hand give rise to an error signal in the form of a zero drift. This temperature drift is a function of the heat input. -
Page 24: Maintenance
The dynamometer must be recalibrated for example after an uncontrolled overloading. This recalibration should be carried out in the manufac- turer's factory. In such cases, please contact your Kistler distributor. Our products can be recalibrated or tested the same way as when they were first delivered. -

Page 37: Influence Of Temperature
Annex In their dynamic behavior, piezoelectric sensors are su- perior to all other measuring methods. Their high rigidity results in the highest possible natural frequencies. Pie- zoelectric sensors are thus ideal for measuring measur- ands which change rapidly over time. Their dynamic be- havior is thereby largely determined by the surrounding structure. - Page 38 Ceramic-Microvibration Dynamometer Type 9236A… Temperature gradient error (dynamic error) A temporary change in the output signal is denoted as temperature gradient error, when the temperature of the environment or surrounding medium changes with a cer- tain rate. In this case, the sensor is not in thermal equilib- rium with the environment.
