The K series force sensors use the bending ring principle as the only integrated measuring method in force measurement. This means that these force sensors set standards for accuracy, reliability and quality. This significantly affects the very low sensitivity to parasitic influences (shear forces, bending moments, torsional moments, temperature fluctuations). They can withstand forces of up to 300 % of the nominal force without breaking and up to 150 % of the nominal force without zero point shift. With a fixed cable connection, the K series force sensors achieve IP protection class IP68.
The K series is a force sensor that enables high-precision measurement throughout the entire measuring range - from the smallest load to the nominal force. This means that the same force sensor can be used for the widest possible measuring range, providing a reliable and economical solution for your force measurement needs - ideal for materials and component testing, for static and dynamic testing machines or demanding production applications for process control and quality assurance.
