Compression Force Sensor - Dual Measurement Range - 5/25 kN to 450/1200 kN

Overview

High-capacity, high-precision compression sensor

The 2101 series compression sensors are designed for applications requiring optimal measurement accuracy at full load as well as at partial loads. To achieve this, the sensor consists of two precision compression cells stacked with complementary measurement ranges. Accuracy for low to intermediate forces is thus improved by a factor of 4 to 5 compared to a conventional precision cell.

The output signal is 4 mV/V at full scale, and the design compensates for eccentric loads to ensure the highest precision during measurements. The 2101 series sensors are available in 6 capacities. Overload protection is 150%.

The operating temperature range is -55 to 90°C. Temperature compensation is applied during calibration between -10 and 45°C.

Installation

• Bridge supply: 1-20 VDC

• Mounting 2: Compression only. The load is applied to the measurement surface. Sensor installation with base plate when the installation surface has imperfections (see accessories). Screw types, tightening torques here

• Mounting 4: Compression only. The load is applied to the measurement surface. Sensor installation directly on the surface. Screw types, tightening torques here

Conditioning and Data Acquisition

The output signal of the 1331 is non-amplified. It is possible to obtain a complete measurement chain, wired and configured specifically for the application by integrating, for example:

9840 Display	GSV-2TSDI	GSV-3USB	PMI-520AJ
High-precision digital display for calibration standard	24-bit display with data acquisition function	USB data acquisition module	High-precision analog conditioner with voltage or current output

Applications

• Test benches in aeronautics, automotive
• Material testing
• Test bench instrumentation
• Hydraulic cylinder instrumentation
• Sensor verification
• Calibration benches
