Z-force transducer

… for small compressive and tensile forces

Z-transducers are compact force transducers designed to measure small compressive and tensile forces. Their characteristic Z- or S-shaped bending beam enables a defined force application and is particularly suitable for applications with limited installation space.

The Z-type load cell can be connected to adjacent structural elements via the threads on the top and bottom. This allows it to be integrated into the measurement task in accordance with the specific installation situation.

Typical areas of application

Z-type load cells are particularly suitable for measuring small forces in test benches and weighing systems. Other applications include conveyor and lift technology, as well as force monitoring on machinery and structures.

Z- or S-shaped design

The Z-transducer features a Z/S-shaped flexural beam with an integrated measuring chamber. Its special geometry enables it to measure both compressive and tensile forces within a compact design.

The threads on the top and bottom are used to connect the transducer to adjacent components. This allows the force to be applied in a manner suited to the specific design.

Shielded measuring chamber

The DMS sensors are housed in an integrated measuring chamber. The application chamber is encapsulated in a highly elastic compound, thereby protecting it against mechanical and chemical influences.

The bridge balance is calibrated to approximately ±0.01 mV/V in an unloaded state.

Electrical connection

The Z-sensor can be connected directly to control systems or comparator circuits. The cable shield, which is separate from the sensor body, ensures low-interference transmission of the measurement signal.
