Custom applications

Piezoelectric sensors are all characterized by an extremely wide measuring range, high linearity and stability and very compact size. This impressive selection is supported by a sales and service network providing vital expertise throughout the world.

Extensive portfolio of sensors for biomechanics
Our product line includes over 1000 different force, acceleration, pressure and torque sensors for measuring tasks of all kinds. Force and movement are key factors in obtaining a clearer picture of the complex processes involved in biomechanics and a more precise definition of the properties of the materials. Because of Kistler's decades of accumulated experience in biomechanics, our experts are able to provide you with reliable and objective advice in selecting extremely versatile sensors and systems best suited for your special measurement task or application.
