C15 Reference Force Transducer: Capacities from 2.5 kN to 1 MN

The C15 reference force transducer is a rugged shear-force sensor – EMC-tested, rustproof, impact and vibration tested – available in nominal (rated) measuring ranges from 2.5 kN to 1 MN. It fulfills the requirements of ISO 376 accuracy class 00 across an exceptionally wide measuring range, from 10% to 100% of the respective capacity.

Thanks to the sensor’s very high output signal – more than 4 mV/V for variants with capacities of 25 kN and above – the C15 enables optimal use of the amplifier’s full measuring range. The result is high resolution and an outstanding signal-to-noise ratio.

Accuracy class to ISO376: 00
HBK accuracy class: 0.02…0.05
Nominal (rated) measuring range: 2.5 kN…1 MN

The sister model of the C15, the U15 reference force transducer, is ideal for reference force measurements with tensile and compressive forces.

Highest accuracy class

Meets the requirements of class 00 per ISO 376 in an exceptionally wide measuring range between 10% and 100% of its capacity for compressive forces
Eccentricity adjustment: Optimized accuracy even for measurements in different mounting positions or with eccentric force application
Can be used as a reference transducer for compressive forces up to 1 MN
Very high output signal of up to 4.5 mV/V; can be adjusted, on request, to 3 mV/V to make full use of the amplifier's input range
Excellent signal-to-noise ratio

Precise measurements in an exceptionally wide measuring range

Individually configurable

Numerous easy-to-order options, TEDS chip, double bridges, rated output adjustment
Practical accessories available, thrust pieces per ISO376
On request, we can perform measurement-chain calibrations
HBK has suitable measuring amplifiers available that are ideally matched to the C15 in terms of the input range

Match the measurement system perfectly to the application – with well-engineered accessories, the right amplifiers, and calibration services

Robust and fast

High rigidity, low deformation under load, and good dynamic behavior
Robust due to the IP67 degree of protection and hermetic welding
Low temperature coefficient of the zero signal and low sensitivity to temperature gradients

Reliably masters dynamic calibration tasks in and outside of the laboratory

A complete measuring chain: Perfect precision for a perfect price.

The combination of the reference transducer U15 and the precision measuring amplifier module QuantumX MX238B results into an extremely cost-effective precision measuring chain. Thanks to the modular design of the QuantumX modules, you can also easily extend this measuring chain by a number of additional measuring variables, e.g. Temperature, voltage, angle of rotation.
