Advantages of test stand technology from Kistler: From torque sensors to complex test stand systems Complete turnkey systems Modular and scalable design allows for subsequent extensions Test stand technology, made to measure: Simply contact us!

This Component Finder will make it easier for you to search for generic torque sensors that can be used for general measurements in research and development or in test laboratories. As well as generic torque sensors, Kistler offers a vast range of customized solutions for torque measurement in specific applications (see the information box on the right). In universities and industry, for basic research or quality assurance: Kistler torque sensors guarantee precise definition of the power and friction values of drives, transmissions and pumps. Strain gage technology (DMS) is a powerful solution for measurements on rotating shafts, and also for long-term dynamic and static measurements. Maximum precision, the most rigid structure possible and high temperature stability: thanks to these assets, strain gage technology can accomplish the most demanding tasks. Piezoelectric reaction torque sensors offer convincing features such as exceptional overload protection, high signal resolution and a wide frequency range. They are ideal for measurement tasks when conditions are difficult due to geometry, temperature range or dynamics.X`

ComoNeo, the next generation The Industry 4.0 vision has already emerged as a distinct reality in the injection molding sector. The new approach to production focuses on consistent digitization – leading to enhanced product quality and increased cost-efficiency. Market players equipped with Kistler systems for process monitoring and control, like ComoNeo, are ideally placed to meet the requirements for digital networking – with no problems.

The Signal Conditioning Platform (SCP) with Ethernet options centralizes equipment configuration and optimizes usability for maximum flexibility. It ensures process reliability and enables early detection of unsafe operating conditions in fixed or mobile high-speed combustion analysis applications. Flexible System with Centralized Control Kistler’s network-compatible SCP can be equipped with application-specific measuring modules to accomplish various measuring tasks, for example with the Type 5064C charge amplifier module for piezoelectric sensors or Type 4665B for piezoresistive sensors. The new platform allows virtual linkage of the systems deployed, so all SCPs can be operated from one centrally controlled PC. Intuitive GUI for Simple and Quick Data Handling The SCP’s intuitive GUI provides an overview of all key data, such as measuring module configurations, sensor data and operating times, so that all changes can be made on a single screen for simple and quick data handling. An ‘Export’ function converts the data into various formats to document all the measurement settings. Cylinder peak pressure histograms for each sensor can be created at the click of a button while users can immediately detect sensor load and strain, as well as any irregularities.

This Component Finder will make it easier for you to search for signal processing solutions that can be used for general measurements in research and development or in test laboratories. As well as generic signal processing solutions, Kistler offers a vast range of customized solutions for signal processing in specific applications (see the information box on the right). Accurate, low-noise processing of the sensor signals that are emitted is essential to obtain measurement results that can be utilized. Kistler offers an attractive portfolio of solutions for signal processing and subsequent data digitization. Piezoelectric sensors (PE sensors) with a charge output operate reliably with charge amplifiers. On the other hand, piezoelectric sensors with integrated electronics (IEPE sensors) are supplied by Piezotron® couplers which decouple and amplify the signal

This Component Finder will make it easier for you to search for generic pressure sensors that can be used for general measurements in research and development or in test laboratories. As well as generic pressure sensors, Kistler offers a vast range of customized solutions for pressure measurement in specific applications (see the information box on the right). Kistler offers both piezoelectric and piezoresistive sensors to measure pressure – so we have the right solution for many applications. Piezoelectric pressure sensors are suitable for measuring highly dynamic, dynamic and quasi-static pressure curves or pulsations. Piezoresistive pressure sensors are suitable for measuring static and quasi-static pressure curves.
