The C6B compressive force transducer allows cost-effective measurement of forces up to 10 MN, even in harsh environments. Many configuration options.
C6B
The C6B force transducers are based on compression bars, a design that is well suited for very large forces and stands for small displacements – ideal for highly dynamic measurements, for example, in impact tests or fast joining processes.
The C6B series is characterized by its excellent price-to-performance ratio, which is especially true for the variants with integrated electronics. The sensors are completely made of stainless steel, hermetically sealed, and have a high degree of protection (IP68). An extensive range of options allows for adaptation to the measurement task at hand. The versions up to 2 MN have an internal bore. This has proven particularly useful in anchor or rope tension monitoring.

List of accessories available for all variants of this family
It's your choice: you can now order the C6B with an integrated amplifier. VA1 with voltage output (0 –10 V) or VA2 with current output (4 – 20 mA). Neither the sensor's dynamics nor its metrological properties change!
| Easy integration | Same electrical connection: All HBK force sensors come with an M12 plug, pinning is the same for all models. |
| Fast | With a bandwidth of 2 kHz, the amplifiers are also ideally suited for fast processes. |
| Reliable | The active sensor meets the same stringent requirements for shock and vibration resistance as the version without an amplifier. |
| Ambient conditions |
The amplifier is robust in all fields of application and is optimally suitable for industrial applications due to its IP67 degree of protection and the use of exclusively stainless materials. Versions with M12 connectors offer the same degree of protection. |
| Calibration | The amplifier converts the force signal (N) into a current or voltage signal (mA or V). Calibration certificates, in compliance with DKD R3-3 or ISO376, are also available for the sensors with a measurement amplifie |
| Accuracy | Both versions, with and without an integrated amplifier, have the same accuracy class. |
