Module increases connection efficiency

A HBM UK product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Nov 5, 2007

There is virtually no risk of mixing up of cable cores with RJ connectors and testing of the strain gauges is simplified.

HBM's modular Canhead amplifier system now accepts more efficient RJ connectors thanks to the new CB1016 module.

The CB1016 allows strain gauge quarter bridges to be conveniently and reliably connected through shielded RJ45 plugs or easier-to-manage and less expensive RJ11 plugs.

RJ connectors are easy to connect properly, easing strain gauge installation.

There is virtually no risk of mixing up of cable cores with RJ connectors and testing of the strain gauges is simplified.

The CB1016 is complemented by HBM's range of pre-assembled strain gages with cables which are now offered with pre-fitted RJ connectors.

Canhead is HBM's distributed system of compact 10-channel measuring modules and is suitable for structural testing with medium to large channel counts.

Canhead is based on HBM's four-wire configuration and uses a carrier frequency of 600Hz.

The four-wire configuration ensures increased precision and insensitivity to cable resistance variations.
