We have released an easy-to-understand video explaining the piezoelectric effect of quartz, which is used in most Kistler sensors!

日本キスラー本社

The Curie brothers, Pierre and Jacques, discovered the piezoelectric effect in 1880 through experiments using tourmaline crystals, but its practical application did not come until 1950 when Walter P. Kistler, the founder of Kistler, invented the charge amplifier. We are currently releasing a video about the piezoelectric effect of this crystal and its applications. For more details, please click on the "link" or "related product information" below to visit the introduction page of the quartz piezoelectric force sensor within IPROS and watch the video! We plan to continue releasing videos that clearly explain the features of our products, so please look forward to it!

[Video Now Available] Quartz Piezoelectric Force Sensor
We have released a video that explains the piezoelectric effect of crystals and its applications in an easy-to-understand manner. Please take a look!

For details on each product, please refer to the lineup and each product page within IPROS, the catalog page, or our official website.
1-component force sensor (load washer, force link, press force)
A one-component force sensor utilizing the piezoelectric effect! It meets quality standards on the production line and ensures a finished product quality that is as close to zero defects as possible!

Kistler's single-component force sensors contribute to monitoring, control, and optimization in the automotive field and the automotive parts industry. Their high accuracy and reproducibility lead to improved quality assurance and process reliability in mass production. Additionally, they require little effort for maintenance and management.
3-component force sensor (load washer, force link)
A three-component force sensor utilizing the piezoelectric effect! It meets quality standards on the production line and ensures a finished product quality that is as close to zero defects as possible!

The charges generated in proportion to the components of each force are output from the corresponding pin of the multi-pin connector through the electrodes. The upper and lower surfaces of the sensor are coated with ceramic, allowing for grounding insulation with the installed mechanism. The sensor, designed for vibration resistance, has very high rigidity, resulting in a higher natural frequency that meets the requirements necessary for dynamic measurements. The 3-pin V3 connector (female) is equipped with an insertion guide to prevent incorrect pin insertion and enable accurate connections. It also includes protective features against connector rotation. If the sensor is installed correctly, recalibration is unnecessary. Due to its high accuracy and reproducibility, it contributes to quality assurance and improved process reliability in mass production. Additionally, it requires little effort for maintenance and management.
