C2 Force Sensor: Reliable Compressive Force Measurement

The C2 force sensor, tried and tested over a long time, is a diaphragm sensor – a design that is very well-suited for fast measurements. This sensor, with integrated lateral force compensation, works safely even in the event of lateral forces or non-centric force application.

HBK has re-engineered the C2 series sensors for compressive force measurement to enable quick and optimized response to spare parts requirements and new designs. Different cable lengths, mounted plugs and TEDS are available, allowing for more efficient installation. In addition to the well-known passive versions of the force sensor, optional versions are now also available featuring integrated electronics with a current or voltage output (4 –20 mA or 0 – 10 V), while external dimensions remain unchanged. 

  • HBM accuracy class: Up to 0.1 (0.5 kN: 0.2)
  • Capacities: 0.5 kN to 200 kN
  • Output: mV/V (passive), 0...10 V or 4...20 mA

Practice-oriented

  • All variants are made of stainless steel and have a high degree of protection (IP67)
  • Shock and EMC tested in compliance with international standards
  • Compact dimensions

 

Benefit from the C2’s maturity and long-life technology.

Adaptable and cost-effective

  • Many configuration options: mounted plugs, TEDS and various cable lengths
  • Available with an integrated measuring amplifier; in this case, calibrated as a measuring chain
  • Identical dimensions with and without integrated electronics

Save on installation costs by configure the sensor so that it fits to your application! Now also available with an integrated amplifier.

Small displacement, excellent dynamics

  • The C2 shows only little deflection under load
  • Its high stiffness ensures excellent dynamic behavior, excellent for fast measurements
  • Suitable for static measurements due to strain gauge technology

Solve both static and dynamic measurement tasks using the C2.
