The U9C tensile and compressive force transducer is mechanically and electrically compatiblewith its predecessor model and can easily be installed in existing systems. Its extremelycompact design further facilitates the integration.

Providing 0.2 accuracy, the U9C offers higher precision than its predecessor. The transducer is based on leading-edge strain gauge technology. Force is applied via a special load application point. Knuckle eyes are available, if needed.

Moreover, the U9C force transducer offers IP67 protection. Precise measurement results are guaranteed even in adverse environments thanks to the hermetically sealed housing fromstainless steel and the extremely thin and rugged cable.

Compact, precise, rugged - these characteristics make the U9C highly versatile. Possible fields of application include:

• Cost-effective test benches for a wide range of applications
• Control and monitoring of production processes
• Measurement tasks in development, when other sensors are too big, e.g. for measuring braking forces directly in the brake caliper

Furthermore, the tensile force transducer adapts to the application - cable lengths and connectors are variable. If a plug version is selected, U9C can also be fitted with TEDS. The sensor's identification number will be automatically detected and the amplifier automatically configured.
