The K-U10F is our high-end sensor for tensile and compressive forces - ready to be configured in accordance with your needs. NEW: IO-Link option with integrated amplifer. 

Find below some explanations to our options.

Capacity

The sensor is available in measurement ranges from 50 kN to 1.25 MN.

Number of measuring bridges

The U10F 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.

Rated output adjustment

The U10F force sensors have a rated output in the range from 2 mV/V to 2.5 mV/V. The sensors can be adjusted to 2 mV/V on request (J). In this case, the output resistance is adjusted as well so that you can connect several sensors in parallel using one amplifier input.

NOTE: If you order the U10F with integrated amplifier, the sensor is adjusted as a measuring chain - no need for a passive adjustment (N).

Calibration

The U10F is supplied as standard with a calibration to 100 % of the measurement range (1).

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.

NOTE: TEDS only for sensors without integrated amplifier module.

Mechanical design

The U10F is delivered without a foot adapter (load base) as standard (S). The U10F can then be directly screwed onto a structural element using the pitch circle.

Plug protection

The U10F can be ordered with a plug protection. This is a strong square tube (round tube for nominal (rated) force 1.25 MN) mounted around the connector to protect it from mechanical damage (P). Standard is without plug protection (U).

Electrical connection Bridge A

The standard version is a bayonet connector (PT02E106P6P-compatible) (B). You can order a screw-type plug (PC02E106P compatible) as well (G). A third variant where the force transducers are fitted with a fixed cable is also available (K = 6 m cable, V = 15 m cable). In this version, all U10Fs achieve degree of protection IP68. Sensors with a digital output (VAIO) are connected via the 4-pin M12 plug (00A4).

Electrical connection Bridge B

See electrical connection bridge A.

Plug version for the fixed mounted cables

If you have ordered the U10F with an integrated cable, you can have a plug mounted at the end of the cable, so the force sensor can be connected directly to your amplifier.

  • Y = Free ends, no plug assembly
  • F = D-sub-HD15, for connecting to MGC+ (e.g. AP01) or Scout amplifiers
  • Q = HD-sub-HD15, for connecting to many HBK signal conditioners in the Quantum series (MX410, Mx440, MX840, MX430, MX238)
  • N = MS plug, for connecting to HBK signal conditioner, such as MGC+ (AP03), DMP or DK38
  • P = ODU plug, 14-pin, degree of protection IP68, for connecting to all HBK amplifiers of the Somat XR series that are suitable for measuring full bridge circuits
  • M = M12 female connector, 8-pin for our Digibox amplifier module
  • X = No cable

Integrated amplifier

Standard U10F force transducers are passive (mV/V) sensors (N). If you order your U10M with integrated amplifier with IO-Link interface (VAIO), the U10F comes along as calibrated measurement chain. After connected to an IO – Link master, the device sends correct measurement values in N. Please note that you need to choose M12 plug as an electrical connection. TEDS and adjusted output are not required, so that you cannot order these options in combination with an integrated amplifier.

Firmware version

If you order a U10F with an integrated amplifier, you will get the latest firmware version, unless you choose an older version that is still available.
