The U2B force sensors are proven industrial standard for measuring static and dynamic tensile and compressive forces in production, test stands and monitoring applications.
NEW: Now available with integrated digital amplifier with IO-Link output.
U2B
The U2B force sensor, tried and tested over a long time, is a diaphragm sensor – a design that is very well-suited 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.
HBK has re-engineered the U2B series sensors for tensile and compressive force measurement to enable quick and optimized response to spare parts requirements and new designs. Different cable lengths, mounted plugs and TEDS are available, allowing for more efficient installation. In addition to the well-known passive versions of the force sensor, optional versions are now also available featuring integrated electronics, while external dimensions remain unchanged.
Please have a look at the K-U2B- model. Beside many other options, you can find order information for the IO-Link version as well.
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! Benefit from the advantages of HBK's IO-Link technology: Improved accuracy, less costs, even better relaibility.
Solve both static and dynamic measurement tasks using the U2B.
