S9M force transducer for high-accuracy load measurements

Compensation for parasitic influences, such as lateral forces or bending moments, is excellent, and measurement reliability is markedly improved. Integrating the transducer into an application is also very easy, and the transducer is unaffected by temperature variations including temperature gradients. The S9M is available with different nominal (rated) force ranges, from 500N to 50kN.

The strain gauges are hermetically integrated into the measuring body, and are safely protected. Furthermore, the transducer can be used under adverse ambient conditions because it is made from stainless steel and benefits from sealing to IP68. The transducer is mechanically fully compatible with its predecessor, the S9, so that it can easily be used to upgrade existing equipment while all accessories can continue to be used.

HBM says the S9M is suitable for various applications as an OEM product. These can typically be found in test benches and testing machines, in hardness testers and in experimental work. With its enhanced accuracy class, the transducer can help to improve relevant products, while OEM customers also benefit from a very attractive price-performance ratio.

Further information about the HBM is introducing the for high-precision measurement of compressive and tensile forces. It utilises strain gauges and is said to be extremely accurate because of its S-type geometry; the S9M has an , whereas the previous S9 model had an accuracy class of 0.05.
