HBM provides precise measurements in tough conditions

As more and more applications in harsh environments require powerful force transducers, which feature a high resistance to external influences, HBM is expanding its range of IP68 rated products to meet this need. The new Stainless Steel C10 Force Sensor provides high precision in compressive force measurement, for even the most demanding of environments.

HBM provides precise measurements in tough conditions

The new sensor offers 75 ppm and presents excellent linearity and hysteresis values. The sensors accuracy classes, which are between 0.03 and 0.06, depending on the nominal force which ranges from 2.5kN to 1MN, can be freely configured according to the application with a variety of options. The sensor's core is optimally protected from external influences such as dirt and moisture in a Stainless Steel measuring body which comes complete with an optional integrated cable to achieve IP68 rating.

HBM's U10M range of transducers also features the option of an integrated cable to achieve this high level of protection. Providing excellent accuracy, the U10M is currently the only flat shaped force sensor on the market to achieve IP68 protection. Suitable for use in ambient conditions, the U10M range from HBM can measure nominal (rated) forces from 1.25kN to 500kN.

Also achieving the equivalent level of protection under the same conditions is the S9M Force Transducer from HBM. Featuring an accuracy class of up to 0.02 for nominal (rated) forces between 500N and 50kN, the S9M provides clear and precise measurement results.

Suitable for use in multiple applications in experimental stress analysis, OEM applications or test equipment, the S9M complements the wide range of force transducers now available from HBM. In addition to IP68 rated products, HBM also provide a full range of force sensors and transducers to measure static and dynamic tensile and compressive loads, with virtually no displacement.
