The quality of a measurement depends not only on the sensor itself, but also on many other factors such as the cable or correct application. We offer a wide range of accessories - basically everything needed for a good measurement.
1. Highly insulating cables
Unlike conventional coaxial cables, the innermost core of a high-insulation cable is insulated with PTFE. This allows the drift effect to be reduced to a minimum. A special graphite coating also minimizes the triboelectric effect. Numerous versions are available for the outer insulation, each with different properties.
1.1. Why Are Kistler Cables Important in Measurement Systems?
In high-precision measurement systems, the connection between sensors, amplifiers, and data acquisition devices plays a decisive role in the accuracy of test results. Kistler cables are optimally designed to:
Preserve measurement signals:
