The force transducer works according to the strength measuring principle on a transverse basis to the longitudinal axis.

Got to the PBB-15A special for measuring small strengths (quality control, weight and filling level determination, ...) to robot, handling and medical engineering develops.

It is executed as a beam with an open chamber. The beam shape and two boreholes with 5,5 mm of diameters permit an assembly suitable for mechanical engineerings. The strength introduction is carried out via further borehole with 5,5 mm of diameters.

This one in the chamber applizierte strain gauge is spilled with a very elastic mass and protected so from mechanical and chemical damages.

The strain gauge bridges measure the deformation caused by bend strengths on the beam. An external amplifier (connection to the PBB-15A with approx. 0,5 m of cables) gives a measuring signal between 1 and 9 mA or between 4 and 20 mA impressed current. The calibration is carried out by use of a resistor, parallel connected with a strain gauge bridge (software calibration).

The PBB-15A is assigned for the direct coupling to an automatic control or a controlling switch.
