Kistler USA Announces Recent Enhancements to Three-Component Triaxial Force Link Product Offerings



Kistler Instrument Corporation (www.kistler.com), a worldwide supplier of precision sensors, systems and instrumentation for the dynamic measurement of pressure, force, torque and acceleration, has announced recent enhancements to its industry best-selling three-component triaxial force link product range, to include expanded measurement capabilities from ±1.8k to ±33.7k lbf and other design enhancements for greater measurement flexibility and performance.

Kistler three-component dynamic force links are compact, fully calibrated and preloaded for reliable high-precision dynamic force measurements in three orthogonal directions, in both tension and compression modes, across a variety of applications, regardless of the acting point of the force, with a large useable frequency range. All dynamic sensing elements are housed in a rust-free, sealed stainless steel housing.

General product line improvements to all Kistler three-component triaxial force link models include improved resolution and an expanded operating temperature range of -40 to +248°F, reduced hysteresis, an optional IP67 rated environmental sealing and plug connection via highly robust V3 multi-pole connector, which replaces the legacy three 10-32 neg. connection. The newer versions are drop-in replacements for legacy models, and use the same cable type as those with Types 93x7C already introduced. Specific enhancements to the Kistler Type 9327C triaxial quartz force link include a more rigid construction and expanded measurement range of ±0.8k lbf across the x and y axes (previously ±0.6k lbf) ±1.8k lbf across the z-axis (previously ±1.1k lbf).

Typical applications for Kistler triaxial force links include cutting force measurements within metal cutting processes; crash test collision forces; rocket motor recoil forces; vibrating table and friction forces; biomechanical ground reaction forces and feedback studies, road and test bed vehicle force; and wind tunnel balance applications.
