Available models and information on installation
HBM has two different piezoelectric force sensor designs available: The force
washer CFW and the force transducer CFT.
The CFT force transducers are calibrated and are delivered with calibration
certificates. As these force transducers are already pre-stressed internally,
they are suitable for immediate application. Renewed calibration of the
measurement chain is not necessary.
Pre-stressing a CFW force washer:
The pre-stressing of the force washer is necessary to ensure the linearity and
structural durability of the sensor.
This pre-stressing means that another mechanical element is mounted
parallel to the force sensor. This element reduces the overall sensitivity of the
system.
