Presentation
The KR55 force sensor enables tension and compression force measurement with excellent precision (0.05% of full scale) and minimal footprint (only 27 mm in height). Force application is achieved via an M10 threaded hole (tension) and a 15 mm diameter load ring (compression). Eight smooth 8 mm diameter holes allow the sensor to be mounted to the test bench or frame.
Dimensions

Available in 4 capacity versions ranging from 1 to 10 kN, the KR55 features robust construction (stainless steel, IP 65, 150% overload protection) and an operating temperature range of -10 to 85°C.
Operation
Power supply: 1 to 10 VDC. Non-amplified output signal. Connectivity: 2.1 m, 4-wire cable.
The GSV signal conditioning modules are recommended for processing the output signal:
