PACEline CFT

Piezoelectric force transducers CFT series: capacities from 5 kN to 20 kN

Piezoelectric CFT force transducers are pre-tensioned and calibrated. One special feature of the sensors is that gallium phosphate is used as the sensor material, which allows for twice the sensitivity compared to conventional piezoelectric force transducers that use quartz.

The extremely small sensors are made entirely of stainless steel materials and offer the advantages typical of the piezoelectric principle: they allow the measurement of forces of several Newtons, even with high initial loads, and also the measurement of very rapid changes in force. The force transducers have a displacement of only a few µm.

• Capacities: 5 kN to 20 kN
• HBM accuracy class: 1
• Calibrated measuring ranges: 20 % and 100 %
• Stainless steel materials, IP65 degree of protection
• Low drift quality
• High EMC performance due to design principle
• High stiffness, which is typical of the piezoelectric principle due to the high natural frequency
• Thread connection on both sides
• Pre-stressed and calibrated
• Standard mechanical connections facilitate sensor integration
• Practical accessories available: hub amplifiers, summing units and cables
• Compared to quartz-based sensors, twice the sensitivity can be achieved by using gallium phosphate: double the output signal with the same measuring power
• Excellent mechanical quality and outstanding linearity characteristics
