Piezoelectric Pressure Sensor targets engine research.


May 9, 2008 - Designed around PiezoStar® crystal element with sensitivity of -45 pC/bar, Type 6045A can establish basic engine performance as well as help optimize engine efficiency parameters. Crystal element output remains linear at elevated temperatures by resisting thermal influences, eliminating need for water cooling. Compatible with common laboratory charge amplifiers, sensor enables both thermodynamic investigations and knock measurements to be made with M8 x 0.75 access hole.

Engine Development Sensor Has High Sensitivity


Amherst , NY (May 4, 2008) - A new pressure sensor for engine research advances the state-of-the-art in simplified, exacting measurement performance from Kistler Instrument. The piezoelectric sensor type 6045A is designed around a unique PiezoStar® crystal element which has a sensitivity of -45 pC/bar. This higher level signal reduces data compromising effects and eases signal conditioning. The crystal element output remains linear at elevated temperatures by resisting thermal influences thus eliminating the need for water cooling. With low thermal shock, in high impedance, charge mode operation this unit meets the demands of test track tuning. Both thermodynamic investigations and knock measurements can be made with a M8 X 0.75 access hole.

The sensor mounting incorporates a shoulder seal design for efficient heat control. The 6045A sensor is compatible with common laboratory charge amplifiers. It is interchangeable with Kistler water-cooled style 6041A. From simplified mechanical support to highly precise data characteristics, this sensor series can establish basic engine performance as well as help optimize engine efficiency parameters.

Kistler is a worldwide supplier of precision instrumenta­tion for the measurement of pressure, force and acceleration serving the R&D, Industrial and OEM Communities.
