The K-C15 is the cost-effective reference force transducer - ready to be configured in accordance with your needs.

Find bellow some explanations to our options.

Capacity

The sensor is available in measurement ranges from 2.5 kN to 1 MN.

Number of measuring bridges

The C15 force sensors are available in single bridge (SB) or double bridge (DB) versions. Double bridge sensors feature two independent measurement circuits, so the sensor has two outputs. This can be used to connect two different amplifiers working independently.

Transducer identification

You can order your sensor with a “Transducer Electronic Data Sheet”, TEDS (T). In this case, your sensor is equipped with an electronic memory that is programmed with the technical characteristics of the sensor. If the sensor is connected to an instrument with TEDS 0-wire functionality, for example, HBK's Quantum models or the ClipX modules, the instrument will read out the specific data and the setup process will run automatically.

Plug protection

The C15 can be ordered with a plug protection. This is a strong square tube mounted around the connector to protect it from mechanical damage (P). Standard is without plug protection (U).

Plug version bridge A

The standard version of  the C15 is delivered with a bayonet connector (B). A threaded connector can be supplied instead, if required (G).

Plug version bridge B

See Plug version bridge A.

Sensitivity adjustment

The C15 have a rated output in the range from 4 mV/V to 4.95 mV/V (steel types, capacities greater than 10 kN) or from 2 mV/V to 3 mV/V (aluminum types, capacities up to and including 10 kN) (U). The sensors can be adjusted to 3 mV/V for the steel types or 2 mV/V for the aluminum types on request (J).

A complete measuring chain: Perfect precision for a perfect price.

The combination of the reference transducer U15 and the precision measuring amplifier module QuantumX MX238B results into an extremely cost-effective precision measuring chain. Thanks to the modular design of the QuantumX modules, you can also easily extend this measuring chain by a number of additional measuring variables, e.g. Temperature, voltage, angle of rotation.
