The compression force transducer works according to the principle of the bend strength measuring.

The DKA-50 is conceived especially for measuring pedal and pression strengths in brake testers for motor vehicles examining procedure, however modified correspondingly also elsewhere usable.

It is executed as a spring body (on both sides fixed bend disk) as s or z shaped type. A 2 mm of strong rubber profiles are against slip stuck on upper and underside. A burdock ribbon permits the simple assembly at the drivers foot or pedal.

The application room for the strain gauges is spilled with a high elastic synthetic material and in this way protected against mechanical and chemical damages.

The strain gauges full bridges measure the deformation caused by pressure strength on the bend disk. An integrated amplifier delivers a measuring signal to current impressed by 1 and 9 mA or 4 and 20 mA. The calibration is carried out by means of one to strain gauges bridge parallel connected resistor (software calibration).

The DKA-50 is designed for direct connection to a control unit. The measurements can be shown on mobile use also with a battery-operated hand terminal ( VELOMAT - VHT-0010).
