HBM C10 Force Transducer

The C10 compressive force transducer offers outstanding precision and robustness and has multiple uses focusing on applications in test benches, material testing machines, and challenging tasks in production. High output signal.

Description

C10 sensors are radially symmetrical force transducers for compressive forces. The output signal is higher than that of other load cells (up to more than 4 mV/V), thus enhancing the resolution and the noise/signal ratio of your measurement chain. The C10 series is a benchmark in accuracy, made from rust-free materials, and various configuration options are available for current market prices.

  • HBK accuracy class: 0.02 … 0.05
  • Capacities: 2.5 kN … 1 MN
  • Output signal: mV/V (passive, Wheatstone bridge) and IO-Link

New: With the new option “VAIO”, the C10 comes along with an integrated digital amplifier. Your advantages:

  • Greater precision: Linearity error 0.005 % for capacities up to 250 kN, higher capacities improved to 0.03 %. TC0: 0.006 %/ 10 K.
  • Improved reliability: The Sensor Health monitoring of the C10 sends warnings in case of exceeding temperature or mechanical limits before problems occur.
  • More information: Temperature measurement, statistical information.
  • Lower costs, easy setup: The C10 with the VAIO option comes along as adjusted sensor. When connected to an IO-Link master, you will get immediately precise readings in Newton. Low cabling costs.
  • Standard instrument features: Limit switches, peak detection, digital output, filter.
  • Fast: Internal sampling rate: 40 kHz, 0.9 ms cycling time to the IO-Link master.

Advantages of all C10:

Improved precision:

  • TC0 of only 75 ppm/ 10 K, with digital output just 60 ppm/ 10 K.
  • Minimal non-linearity, small hysteresis and excellent repeatability (0.025 %).
  • High output signal of greater than 4 mV/V (from 25 kN capacity). Also available: Integrated amplifier.

Economical: Wider measurement range means the same accuracy with fewer sensors – and fewer rejects in production. Even improved with IO-LINK option.

Adaptable usage

  • Made of rust-free material.
  • IP68 degree of protection (with cable option).
  • Not affected by lateral force and eccentric load application.
  • Vibration resistant.
  • EMC approved.

Reliable under harsh environmental conditions, even with electromagnetic fields.

Flexible configuration

  • Flexible configuration options.
  • Over 10,000 combinations available at short delivery times.
  • Different connector and cable options, TEDS, double-bridge versions available, etc.
  • Accessories available separately: thrust pieces, connection cables, calibration services.
  • Available with integrated digital amplifier.

Sensors can be matched to the measurement task. Plug-and-play solutions save time and reduce likelihood of installation errors. With integrated IO-Link option even more economical and precise.
