Piezoelectric Technology in Dynamometers
The consistent utilization of piezoelectric technology in the dynamometers
results in several decisive advantages. To be mentioned
here, for example, is the large measurement range that extends
over several decades. In combination with the high linearity that
piezoelectric sensors bring with them, it is possible to measure
small forces, even with large dynamometers. A further decisive
advantage is the rigid construction of the measuring devices and
the great rigidity of the piezoelectric crystals themselves. This
enables high natural frequencies of the dynamometer to be
achieved. These in turn also make it possible for processes with
high tooth passing frequencies, i.e. excitation frequencies, to
be able to be acquired and measured properly.
Kistler dynamometers are designed for application in raw environments
and are therefore very robust and durable in their construction.
