Compact dynamometer 9255C

IP67ruggedhigh-capacity

Product description
These piezoelectric multicomponent dynamometers measure the three orthogonal force components Fx, Fy and Fz. The instrument comprises four three‑component force sensors mounted under high preload between a base plate and a top plate. It measures multicomponent forces and moments with negligible displacement and provides eight output signals at a 9‑conductor flange socket. The sensors are ground‑insulated to minimize ground‑loop issues. Units are rustproof and protected against splash water and cooling agents; with the specified connecting cables the assembly meets IP67.

Main features / advantages

• Wide measuring range
• Designed for heavy‑duty applications
• Compact footprint for integration

Details
Each of the four built‑in sensors contains three pairs of quartz plates: one pair sensitive to normal pressure in the z direction and two pairs sensitive to shear in the x and y directions. The outputs of the four sensors are internally routed to enable combined multicomponent measurements of forces and moments. Eight output channels are available at a 9‑conductor flange socket. Ground‑insulated sensor mounting reduces ground‑loop interference. The mechanical construction is corrosion‑resistant and protected against splash water and cooling agents. When used with connecting cables Types 1687B5 or 1689B5 and Types 1677A5 or 1679A5, the system attains protection class IP67.
