Measure of force

High-precision measurement of compressive and tensile forces is possible with the new S9M force transducer from HBM. The transducer works with strain gages and attributes its accuracy to its S-type geometry. The S9M has an accuracy class of 0.02; the earlier S9 model had an accuracy class of 0.05.

Compensation for parasitic influences, such as lateral forces or bending moments, is good and reliability has been improved. The transducer is not affected by variations in temperature including temperature gradients and is available with different nominal (rated) force ranges, from 500N to 50kN.
