The C15 Reference Force Transducer Allows Calibration with Capacities from 2.5 kN to 1 MN

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

Numerous easy-to-order options, TEDS chip, double bridges, rated output adjustment
Practical accessories available, thrust pieces per ISO376
On request, we can perform measurement-chain calibrations
HBK has suitable measuring amplifiers available that are ideally matched to the C15 in terms of the input range

Match the measurement system perfectly to the application – with well-engineered accessories, the right amplifiers, and calibration services

Robust and fast

High rigidity, low deformation under load, and good dynamic behavior
Robust due to the IP67 degree of protection and hermetic welding
Low temperature coefficient of the zero signal and low sensitivity to temperature gradients

Reliably masters dynamic calibration tasks in and outside of the laboratory
