Piezoelectric sensors, transverse strain measuring pins (M8) / 9240A

9240A

These measuring pins based on piezoelectric sensor technology are designed for indirect force measurement in machine structures, tools, etc. in order to support industrial monitoring tasks.

Main features / advantages

Ground-isolated piezoelectric force sensor
Preloading allows for measurement of tensile and compression forces
Can be fixed in the mounting bore (ø8 mm) in any depth and direction

The front part of the sensor is sensitive to transversal forces. Shaped as a cylindrical pin, all it needs for installation is a 8 mm borehole. An integrated clamping system is used to preload the sensor in the borehole – enabling it to detect tensile and compressive forces in the machine structure. The ceramic coated body sleeve allows for mounting the sensor ground insulated.
