Tension/Compression force transducer with strain gauges
Description
The model F2229 tension/compression force transducer with strain gauges offers high accuracy and is suitable for both static and dynamic force measurement in the direct force flow.
The force introduction is carried out via the central through hole with female thread. It ensures axial and perpendicular force introduction and serves to absorb the tension or compression forces. The force is thus transmitted centrally and evenly into the instrument. This enables precise measurement of the actual tension or compression forces in a wide variety of applications.
The measuring spring is elastically deformed by a tension or compression force introduced in the force direction. The resulting mechanical tensions are measured by the strain gauges, converted into an electrical output signal and output as an mV/V signal.
