(Kistler: Novi, MI) -- Kistler, a worldwide supplier of precision sensors, systems, and instrumentation for the dynamic measurement of pressure, force, torque, and acceleration, has introduced additional measuring ranges of 15 kN and 5 kN for its Type 2160A NC electromechanical joining modules.

New ranges of the Kistler Type 2160A further expand the existing model offerings of 50 kN and 25 kN, forming a complete product family which occupies the same dimensional footprint as legacy models, and allowing the series to measure a wider range of forces. With a 200 mm stroke and cost-optimized design, the new joining module is 750 mm long, allowing easier incorporation of the module into various assembly systems. The Type 2160A also offers a high-traverse speed of 250 mm/s, ensuring short cycle times. Its integral piezoelectric force sensor, used for measuring in the direction of the pressure, offers a higher overload factor. The Kistler Type 2160A NC joining module is also available with an optional holding brake.
