Overview

Perform highly accurate measurements of compression forces with ease by utilising the simple mounting arrangement and the central load introduction facility.

Full-bridge, bonded foil strain gauge technology provides excellent long-term stability and ensures high performance even in applications requiring over 1 million load cycles.

Optional amplified output signal is available along with a range of cable types, cable lengths and connectors. As an additional aid to system integrators, the AP5 can be supplied as a TEDS (transducer electronic data sheet) enabled smart transducer. This feature provides an on board memory chip storing manufacturing and calibration data.
