Precise, Robust and Configurable Force Transducers
The force transducers of the K series use the bending ring principle as a single integrated measuring process for force measurement. These load cells therefore set standards for accuracy, reliability and quality. An especially positive feature is their low sensitivity to parasitic influences (shear forces, bending moments, torsional moments and temperature fluctuations). They can withstand forces up to 300 % of the nominal capacity without breakage and up to 150% without zero-point shift. With a fixed cable connection, the K series load cells achieve IP rating IP68.
The K series is a load cell that enables high-precision measurements throughout the entire measuring range – from very small loads all the way to the nominal force. This means that the same force transducer can be used for the largest possible measuring range as a reliable and economical solution for your force measurement application – ideal for testing of materials and components, for static and dynamic test machines, or for process control and quality assurance in high-end production applications.
Options
- Mechanical connection as (1) flange, (2) threaded or (3) flange/threaded version depending on nominal load
- Pre-assembled foot adapters depending on nominal load
- Mechanical plug protection
- Rated output (nominal) 2 mV/V, 1 mV/V
- Second axial measuring circuit for redundancy
- Bending moment measuring circuits Mx, My to check the axial force introduction
- Fixed connector sockets or fixed cable in various lengths on the sensor
- In case of fixed cable on load cell: different connector types (e.g. D-Sub 9/15, MS, M12) or free ends
- Expanded temperature range: -40 °C to +180 °C
