Tension/compression load cell
IEPE, 0.2 - 100 mV/N | Types 8230 series Bruel and Kjaer

Types 8230, 8230-001, 8230-002 and 8230-003 are force transducers with integral electronics designed for dynamic, short-duration static and impact force measurements. The transducers are typically used for measuring applied forces in modal applications, for example, inserted directly between an exciter and the test structure or for general-purpose force measurements within process applications.
The transducers are mounted using the ¼" – 28 UNF tapped holes on the top and bottom of the body. The transducers feature a 10 – 32 UNF side connector.
Characteristics

The transducers work on the piezoelectric effect of quartz, which when stressed, in this case compressed, gives an electrical charge proportional to the compressing force. This charge is converted to a low-impedance voltage output and the sensitivity is therefore expressed in terms of voltage per unit force (mV/N). The housing material is stainless steel giving a very stiff and rigid construction.
Calibration

The transducers are supplied with an individual calibration of the sensitivity.
