Meganewton Press Force Calibration Sensor for In-Situ Measurement of Press Forces up to 8 000 t

Meganewton Press Force Calibration Sensor for In-Situ Measurement of Press Forces up to 8 000 t

20 August 2006

Large presses necessitate measurement of forces in the meganewton range. Kistler has developed the new Type 9931A… series of sensors with a range from 250 to several thousand tons for calibrating these machines.

The extremely compact and robust sensors are easily handled and ideal for in-situ measurement.

Several sensors can be combined to suit the application. The greater the number used the wider the maximum measuring range that can be covered. These sensors are supplemented with a selection of special accessories.

Sensor base or cover plates can be replaced at any time if wear arises. The tapered flanges help optimize force transfer while reducing the pressure on the bed of the press.

Advantages:

  • Enormously wide measuring range ensured by compression capacity in the kilonewton to meganewton range
  • Calibrated from 1 ... 100 % of the measuring range as standard (continuous)
  • High overload capacity
  • Manual handling possible
  • Accessories available for optimal mounting and force transfer
