New Application Catalog for Force and Torque Sensors

In the new application catalog "Force and Torque Sensors for Monitoring Production, Assembly and Testing Processes" Kistler presents its product portfolio of sensors, systems and accessories and the areas of application for piezoelectric force and torque measurement in assembly and testing processes.

Practical examples featuring installation diagrams, measuring systems and analyses provide an insight into force and torque measurement in joining, assembly and testing processes. This includes the use of force sensors during press-in processes, set force monitoring during PCB assembly, monitoring of steering column assembly and testing of ignition and manometric switches.

Single and multi-component force sensors, torque sensors, strain sensors, cables, charge amplifiers, control monitors and corresponding accessories are compiled, speci-fied, illustrated and described in extensive, concise tables.
