OverviewThis press-force load cell from Kistler is a piezoelectric single-axis sensor designed for measuring dynamic and quasi-static compression (and limited tension) forces in testing and production environments. Factory preload and modular design ensure the sensor is ready for immediate integration with charge amplifiers or conditioning electronics.
