The U2B force sensors are proven industrial standard for measuring static and dynamic tensile and compressive forces in production, test stands and monitoring applications.
U2B
The proven U2B force sensor is a diaphragm transducer and is, therefore, particularly suitable for fast measurements. The sensor has a bending moment compensation to ensure that you get reliable results even if bending or lateral forces occur in the application. As a strain gauge sensor, the U2B measures both static and dynamic forces.
The U2B series has been further improved: In addition to the familiar configurations, the sensor is now also available with an integrated amplifier with current or voltage output. The dimensions remain unchanged.
Benefit from the U2B’s maturity and long-life technology.
Save on cost: sensor configuration at HBK, plug and measure at the point of use! Now also available with an integrated measurement amplifier.
Solve both static and dynamic measurement tasks using the U2B.
