Strong partners, strong performance – Kistler focuses on dynamism
March 30, 2026
Kistler is the world market leader in dynamic measurement technology for measuring pressure, force, torque, and acceleration. As an experienced development partner, the globally active company enables its customers in industry and science to optimize products and processes and create sustainable competitive advantages.1
With its innovative NCFQ 2166A2 joining system, Kistler combines the high dynamics of LinMot linear modules with the precision of piezoelectric sensors. The result is a complete system that unites the advantages of both technologies, setting new standards in precise, dynamic joining. Thanks to optional acceleration compensation, it is ideally suited for applications with the highest demands on quality and speed – for example, in the manufacturing of medical and electronic products, semiconductors, or in the automotive industry.

Precision and efficiency are equally important in the production of insulin pens. The NCFQ joining system, in combination with the DM03 linear module from LinMot (see first image), unites both qualities. The compact drive impresses with its optimized moving mass, maximum dynamics, and accelerations of over 50 m/s².

Previously, users had to choose: maximum precision and exact process monitoring, or maximum speed. In many applications where reliability and quality are crucial, only the slower option remained. With the new NCFQ high-speed joining system, such compromises are a thing of the past.

Pharmaceuticals in focus
The systems are already in use by customers in the pharmaceutical industry. In an insulin pen production line, for example, the insulin cartridge is automatically inserted into the plastic housing of the autoinjector and then precisely pressed in by the NCFQ joining system. Besides speed, absolute precision is paramount: if the force is too low, the components are not reliably joined; if it is too high, the cartridge can be damaged and insulin can leak. Thanks to the reliable measuring and joining technology, as well as the fast LinMot linear module, the company can be confident that every pen functions perfectly and that production errors are eliminated, even with cycle times of just 500 milliseconds.
Whether in the assembly of injectors, the filling of cartridges, or in precise testing and dosing processes: LinMot drives offer not only technical precision but also the process stability that is crucial for the production of safe and high-quality medical devices.
