HBM's charge amplifier measures over 1MN securely and reliably

The charge amplifier ensures secure measurement acquisition with piezoelectric force transducers using signal conditioning on analogue standard signals +/-10V. The device is particularly useful where there is very little space available such as in test technology, assembly monitoring and function testing, or where measurement objects display high rigidity.

HBM's CMA5000/2 features two calibrated measuring ranges over 100 per cent and 20 per cent of the nominal (rated) force, enabling users to check obtained a detailed examination of overload-critical sections in addition to securely measuring partial load areas. The overall measurement range can be increased without additional components such as summing boxes or measurement cables.

The PACEline CMA5000/2 is fitted with two parallel-switched inputs for piezoelectric sensors, providing additional flexibility and an excellent price/performance ratio. The CMA amplifier has IP65 degree of protection for use in both challenging industrial environments and in laboratory applications. TEDS functionality is integrated enabling the charge amplifier to be immediately recognized and made operational quickly, securely and rapidly.

Customer-specific versions of the PACEline CMA5000/2 piezoelectric charge amplifier are available on request. For further information please visit www.hbm.com.
