Magtrol's ZM Series Force Transducers are designed to measure static and dynamic pressure forces. They are characterised by their small dimensions. Manufactured in stainless steel or high-resistance aluminum, these transducers can be used in a wide variety of applications. In particular, the stainless steel versions with a high degree of protection can be used everywhere without restriction, even in harsh environments. The sensor element consists of a diaphragm body equipped with metal foil strain gauges, which forms a hermetically sealed chamber filled with dry nitrogen. In standard mounting, the transducers are fixed with screws on a flat surface. The force is introduced vertically (without transverse force) via the universal ball joint, either directly or via a metal adapter interface. All Magtrol ZM Series transducers are supplied with a 1.5 m long connection cable with loose ends. Optionally, they can be supplied with a built-in amplifier (ZM‑E). Then, an Output Signals of 0 ... 10 V DC or 4 ... 20 mA can be selected.
