Kistler Unveils an Optimized Digital Charge Amplifier
Separate Energy Paths and Improved Startup Create New Possibilities

February 2022, MARIETTA, GA ~ Charge amplifiers have a crucial part to play in the piezoelectric measuring chain. Kistler offers charge amplifiers that are tailored to users' needs, with innovative solutions that match customers' specific requirements and digitalization levels. And now, Kistler is launching a new version of its 5074A digital charge amplifier: designated as type 5074B, it incorporates improvements that will enable users to benefit from enhanced flexibility and simpler integration!

"The new 5074B digital charge amplifier, available as of now, supersedes the 5074A – and it retains the range of tried-and-tested benefits offered by its predecessor," says Stefan Affeltranger, Product Manager for Production Monitoring at Kistler. But the 5074B also comes with two features that deliver major operational improvements. The new amplifier is ready to operate within around six seconds, as compared to the previous time of 30 seconds for each startup procedure – so users save valuable time. This improvement has a direct impact on plant availability, especially for modular plants with swappable hot-plug modules. Another innovation: the two energy paths in the M8 connectors are now separated so that additional standard devices can be connected as per the industry standard without extra considerations. This also makes it possible to switch off the peripheral power. "With the new 5074B, additional devices can be installed in the machine very easily and reliably – and what's more, this doesn't result in any further functional restrictions," Affeltranger explains.
