Transducer measures compressive and tensile forces
The new S9M force transducer from HBM can carry out the high-precision measurement of compressive and tensile forces within test benches, testing machines, hardness testers and experimental work. The transducer works with strain gauges (SGs) and is accurate thanks to its so-called 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 said to be excellent, while measurement reliability is improved.
Integrating the transducer into an application is claimed to be simple. The transducer is also unaffected by temperature variations including temperature gradients. The S9M is available with different nominal (rated) force ranges, from 500N to 50kN. The SGs are hermetically integrated into the measuring body and are safely protected. The transducer can be used under adverse ambient conditions because it is made from stainless steel and benefits from an IP68 degree of protection. The transducer is mechanically fully compatible with its predecessor, the S9, so that it can be used to upgrade existing equipment while all accessories can continue to be used.
