Overview
Very high-precision force sensor
The force sensors in the 1100 series are, after reference sensors, the most precise in the range. With accuracies between 0.02% and 0.08% of full scale depending on the model, these sensors provide remarkable absolute precision, including at low and intermediate loads. They are thus particularly suited for calibration benches, force verification benches, and all test benches operating across the full force range. Measurement ranges span from ±1.5 kN to ±900 kN.
Design
The design of the 1100 series sensors is the result of 50 years of continuous improvement. High precision is achieved through rigorous strain gauge pairing with the sensing element, as well as expertise in manufacturing and calibration. The construction also features very high repeatability (< 0.01%) and long-term stability (static accuracy: 0.02% to 0.06%). The design is furthermore nearly insensitive to eccentric forces (< 0.05% / cm) and transverse forces (< 0.1%), and highly robust, with overload protection of 150%.

The operating temperature range is -55 to 90°C. Calibration is temperature-compensated between -10 and 45°C.
