With flanges on both sides, it enables easy mounting. The C3 force sensors can also be used with high lateral force.
The U3 load cell is based on the diaphragm principle; which means the strain gauges are mounted within the load cell housing in a well protected manner. Due to the design of the supporting membrane, the U3 force sensor guarantees an exceptionally high lateral force stability of up to 100%.
The U3 has a bending moment adjustment, so that acting moments as well as transverse forces are largely compensated for. The robust design is combined with a double-sided flange connection. This allows the sensor to be mounted quickly (within a few minutes): this minimizes downtime in production. The accuracy exceeds the typical requirements in manufacturing applications.
Minimal assembly time and high operational safety during production, monitoring and test tasks.
Proven reliability: Measurement results are immune to the effects of transverse forces, bending moments, torsion and electromagnetic fields.
