C15

The C15 reference force transducer is a robust (EMC-tested, rustproof, impact and vibration-tested) shear-force transducer with nominal (rated) measuring ranges between 2.5 kN and 1 MN. The C15 meets the requirements of accuracy class 00 per ISO376 in an exceptionally wide measuring range from 10% to 100% of the respective capacity.

Thanks to the sensor’s very high output signal – more than 4 mV/V, with the versions featuring capacities of 25 kN and higher – the full measuring range of the amplifier can be utilized. This guarantees a high resolution and an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio.

• Accuracy class to ISO376: 00
• HBM accuracy class: 0.02…0.05
• Nominal (rated) measuring range: 2.5 kN…1 MN

The sister model of the C15, the U15 reference force transducer, is ideal for reference force measurements with tensile and compressive forces.

Highest accuracy class

• Meets the requirements of class 00 per ISO 376 in an exceptionally wide measuring range between 10% and 100% of its capacity for compressive forces
• Eccentricity adjustment: Optimized accuracy even for measurements in different mounting positions or with eccentric force application
• Can be used as a reference transducer for compressive forces up to 1 MN
• Very high output signal of up to 4.5 mV/V; can be adjusted, on request, to 3 mV/V to make full use of the amplifier’s input range
• Excellent signal-to-noise ratio

Precise measurements in an exceptionally wide measuring range

Individually configurable
