Model 9243A Piezoelectric sensor from Intertechnology Inc.

Piezoelectric sensor for indirect force measurements in machine structures, tools, etc. in industrial monitoring tasks. The sensor is sensitive to forces acting in longitudinal direction. It needs for its installation a borehole of the desired mounting depth. The sensor is used to detect tensile and compressive forces in the machine structure.

The sensor is easily mountable by means of a nut and allows to measure forces within a machine part or a tool. Once installed, the sensor can be calibrated by comparative measurement, for example with a calibrating force transducer. The main application field is the industrial monitoring of machine forces (machine monitoring, tool monitoring, etc.), as well as force monitoring in tie-bars of injection molding machines.
