Tiny transducer measures large forces precisely

Accurate measurement of large compressive forces in areas where only confined mounting space is available is now possible with HBM's C18 compressive force transducer.

Accurate measurement of large compressive forces in areas where only confined mounting space is available is now possible with HBM's C18 compressive force transducer.

Based on the ring torsion principle, the transducer has a low profile and a small diameter, making it compact, lightweight and easy-to-use.

The C18 is available in 11 models with different nominal (rated) forces ranging between 10kN and 4.5MN, allowing it to be used in a wide range of applications.

The base and thrust piece of the transducer are made from stainless steel.

The C18 comes complete with its measuring body and force application parts.

Suitable applications include calibration tasks, such as the classification of material testing machines, or ensuring traceability of industrial test equipment.

The force transducer conforms to the European standards EN 10002-3 and ISO 376 respectively.

It is guaranteed to an accuracy of 0.5 if supplied with a calibration certificate issued on behalf of the German testing institute, Deutscher Kalibrierdienst (DKD).

HBM calibrates its force transducers in its own laboratory, which has been accredited as a DKD laboratory for the past 25 years.
