U2B force sensor: tried and tested sensor for tensile and compressive force

The proven U2B force sensor is a diaphragm transducer and is, therefore, particularly suitable for fast measurements. The sensor has a bending moment compensation to ensure that you get reliable results even if bending or lateral forces occur in the application. As a strain gauge sensor, the U2B measures both static and dynamic forces. 

The U2B series has been further improved: in addition to the familiar configurations, the sensor is now also available with an integrated amplifier with current or voltage output. The dimensions remain unchanged.

  • HBK accuracy class: up to 0.1 (0.5 kN: 0.2)
  • Capacities: 0.5 kN to 200 kN

Practice-oriented

  • High degree of protection (IP67) and stainless steel
  • Shock and EMC tested in compliance with international standards
  • The versions with and without electronics have the same compact dimensions

Benefit from the U2B’s maturity and long-life technology.

Adaptable and cost-effective

  • Configurable with plugs, TEDS and different cable lengths
  • Available with an integrated measuring amplifier; in this case, calibrated as a measurement chain
  • Durable quality, proven design

Save on cost: sensor configuration at HBK, plug and measure at the point of use! Now also available with an integrated measurement amplifier.

Small displacement, excellent dynamics

  • Little deformation under load
  • High stiffness ensures excellent dynamic behaviour
  • Fast sensor for fast processes – also with integrated electronics

Solve both static and dynamic measurement tasks using the U2B.
