Overview

The KM38 miniature strain gauge force sensor is designed for compression force measurement or bolt preload testing using a spherical cap for force transmission centering without lateral force. The KM38 M4 version is identical, featuring an M4 hole for M4 bolt preload testing.

Available in 5 measurement ranges (0-1kN, 0-2kN, 0-5kN, 0-10kN, 0-20kN), with minimal footprint (Ø38 mm x 10 mm) and 1% accuracy.

The sensor body is made of stainless steel IP65. Mounting is done via three M2.5 threaded holes on the underside.
