Installed on the movable or non-movable parts of the processing machine, it is ideal for dynamic and quasi-static force measurement!

The strain in the measurement section is transmitted through two contact points located on the bottom surface of the sensor. The sensor case itself undergoes elastic deformation and transmits the strain to the quartz piezoelectric element. The quartz piezoelectric element generates a charge Q [Pc] that is proportional to the amount of strain. Compared to strain gauge types, the quartz piezoelectric type has higher sensitivity and is more resistant to overload. It also has a long lifespan and provides excellent repeatability and stability in measurements. The measured signal can be used as a relative value. If used as an absolute value (N, kN), the sensor needs to be calibrated with a known load. Thanks to its robust structure and stainless steel case, it can be used in harsh environments. In particular, the 9237B20 achieves IP67, allowing it to be used in dusty and high-humidity environments when used with the dedicated cable 1915A.

Highly sensitive and acceleration-compensated, suitable for process monitoring of rapidly moving machinery!

Through the contact surfaces of the sensor at two locations, the strain of the material acts on the sensor in response to changes in distance. The external case of the sensor functions as an elastic transmission element, converting the change in distance into force. A piezoelectric element that responds to shear strain generates a charge Q (unit: pC) proportional to this force. The sensor is designed for industrial applications. When integrated with a cable, it can achieve a protection rating of IP65. The external case of the sensor is made of stainless steel, and the output connector of the sensor is 10-32UNF. Therefore, various Kistler connection cables can be used.
