A new generation of strain transmitters, with adaptation benefits for process monitoring, combines an advanced digital charge amplifier in a compact sensor that houses the type 9238, enabling easy adjustment to processing operations. Integral electronics enables programming sensor sensitivities by new ManuWare software that matches Kistler sensors to Kistler signal conditioners or process monitors. Other adjustments to complicated processes, such as stepper motor settings are made with similar ease. This design allows the sensor to be used in several ranges, such as charge mode, high impedance instruments, but eliminates cable noise issues. The piezoelectric element has high sensitivity, high overload protection and extremely long service life over strain-gauge types.
Mounting the sensor is simplified by a single screw. The transmitter measures force indirectly through proportional material strain and can be located in more accessible locations within manufacturing machinery.
