Force Transfer Standards

Applications

• Comparison measurements (especially class VN) of force standard machines
• Reference transducers for the calibration of force calibration machines and systems
• Reference transducers for the use in mechanical and hydraulic test systems
• Reference transducers for all traceable force calibrations

Characteristics

• Highest reproducibility, even with different FSM: ≤ 50 ppm typically 20 ppm under comparable test conditions
• High long-term stability
• Small rotation error
• Hermetically sealed
• Small effects of eccentric loading, side forces or moments

Options

• Mounting components according to ISO 376
• Robust cases or boxes: Safe storage and transportation
• PT 100 temperature sensor
• 2 independent measuring circuits
• Additional bending moment measuring circuits
