Description
The C2 force sensor, tried and tested over a long time, is a diaphragm sensor – a design that is very well-suited for fast measurements. This sensor, with integrated lateral force compensation, works safely even in the event of lateral forces or non-centric force application.
HBK has re-engineered the C2 series sensors for 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.
- HBK accuracy class: Up to 0.1 (0.5 kN: 0.2)
- Capacities: 0.5 kN to 200 kN
- Output: mV/V (passive, Wheatstone bridge), 0…10 V, 4…20 mA or IO-Link
New: With the new option “VAIO”, the C2 comes along with an integrated digital amplifier. Your advantages:
- Greater precision: Linearity error 0.03 %, TC0: 0.03 % / 10 K.
- Improved reliability: The Sensor Health monitoring of the C2 sends warnings in case of exceeding temperature or mechanical limits before problems occur.
- More information: Temperature measurement, statistical information.
- Lower costs, easy setup: The C2 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 C2:
Practice-oriented
- All variants are made of stainless steel and have a high degree of protection (IP67).
- Shock and EMC tested in compliance with international standards.
- Compact dimensions.
Benefit from the C2’s maturity and long-life technology.
Adaptable and cost-effective
- Many configuration options: mounted plugs, TEDS and various cable lengths.
- Available with an integrated measuring amplifier; in this case, calibrated as a measuring chain.
- New: Digital output (IO-LINK) with improved accuracy and sensor health monitoring.
- Identical dimensions with and without integrated electronics.
Save on installation costs by configure the sensor so that it fits to your application! Benefit from the advantages of HBK’s IO-Link technology: Improved accuracy, less costs, even better reliability.
Small displacement, excellent dynamics
- The C2 shows only little deflection under load
- Its high stiffness ensures excellent dynamic behavior, excellent for fast measurements
- Suitable for static measurements due to strain gauge technology
Solve both static and dynamic measurement tasks using the C2.
