Kistler North America Introduces the Type 6190 Transducer

By DE Editors

Kistler has introduced the Type 6190, a high-precision transducer designed to offer combined measurements of both cavity pressure and contact temperature during industrial thermoplastic and elastomeric injection molding operations.

The Type 6190 pressure sensor incorporates a quartz sensing element and a diaphragm-free design with a flat, measuring front and four-millimeter bore diameter, allowing it to support space-constrained mold cavity pressure measurements of up to 2000 bar. An integral thermocouple and connecting cable are included to support temperature measurement capabilities.

Mounting dimensions are intended to be compatible with bore sizes of Kistler Types 6175B and 6177 pressure sensors for the replacement of legacy sensors in applications where additional temperature measurement capabilities are important for improved process data collection.
 
The combination cable feeds both pressure and temperature signals to two connectors. Sensors without connectors, available as Type 6190CAG, are available for multi-cavity molds. The charge cable can then be connected to Kistler Type 1708 or 1710A multi-channel connectors and the temperature conductors to the Type 2205A temperature amplifier. The sensor is designed to reliably operate in temperatures of up to +200 °C (+392 °F).
