S-Type force transducer from Tecsis

With the programming unit PE01 the user can reduce the measurement range from 100% to 50% or even 30%. The accuracy, which amounts to 0.2% of the total measurement range, is increased significantly at the same time.

The integrated overload protection allows for a load of up to 400% of the nominal force in both directions.

The S-Type force transducer uses a thin film sensor from Tecsis. The sensing element, which is sealed with a laser, gives all the advantages of a strain gauge, but doesn´t have the disadvantages like temperature drift, according to the company.

Typical applications of the force transducer can be found in machine building, factor automation and lifting equipment. The force transducer, which fulfils protection class IP67, is used for weighing applications or overload detection.

Due to the stainless steel housing the force transducer is well suited for rough industrial environments. The maximum force of the different versions varies from 2 kN to 50 kN. The output can be 4…20 mA or 0…10 V. A standard M12 connector is used for electrical connections. There is also an integrated amplifier to help reduce temperature drift, long term stability, and reproducibility of the measured values.
