Nomenclature of force transducers

 

A - Type

Type designation according to construction form (several letters):

Type designationConstruction form - Family
ZKATensile force transducer – rod
ZRATensile force transducer – tube
KWZTensile force transducer – lug
ZKAGTensile force transducer – rod end
SKA / BFS / LBA-120Shear force transducer
RSAShear force transducer - ring
DSKAShear force transducer - double
SLSShear force transducer - washer (shear load washer)
WZEShear force transducer - load cell
SB / MB / SKLShear force transducer - measuring bolt
BKA / CFBBending force transducer
LBA-160Bending force transducer - rope
BSTBending force transducer - rod
KBKBending force transducer - cross
PBBBending force transducer - parallel (parallel bending beam)
DPBBBending force transducer - double parallel
DAStrain transducer
DKACompression force transducer
RMAStrain transducer - ring
SZStrain transducer - compression cylinder
DRACompression force transducer (-pneumatics/-hydraulics)
DZA / DD / MFD / ZDKATension-compression force transducer

 

B - Supplements

Design-dependent supplement, multi-digit numercial value and possibly letters:

LetterBlank body ...
without... made of steel
A... made of aluminium
D... mechanically redundant (double)
R... as special shape, round
S... as special shape, special
V oder Z... as a special form

 

C - Nominal force

Nominal force in kN, multi-digit numerical value an possibly deviating unit of measurement. Deviating specifications in N, kg or t possible (customer request) 

 

D - Identification

Identification of the blank used, single or multi-digit numerical value and possibly a letter. Numerical value identifies the mechanical design of the blank depending on the design, additional information and nominal force design

 

S - Optional letter

"S" stands for a special electrical version: 

  • when using a special amplifier setting (zero point, nominal force or full scale) 
  • when using a special amplifier 

 

E - electrical version

(single digit numerical value 0 ... 9)
