U93A miniature force transducer: miniature tensile and compression force transducers for flange mounting

The small, robust and highly rigid U93A sensor reliably measures static and highly dynamic tensile and compressive forces. Its small size and good dynamic properties make it a cost-effective alternative to piezoelectric force transducers. Mechanical connection is simple and secure due to the flanged bolted connections on both sides of the U93A sensor. The sensor is IP68 rated, making it suitable for outdoor use.

Like all HBK force transducers, the U93A is easily configurable, allowing it to be easily adapted to different conditions. Its design makes it extremely robust and resistant to lateral forces. In addition, an important detail for production environments is that the U93A force transducer cable is compatible with drag chains and is oil-resistant.

U93A Miniature Sensors with IO-Link

IO-Link technology enables fast measurement while reducing costs through easy integration. An overview of the digital functions can be found below:

• Output signal - Digital signal according to IO-Link smart sensor profile
• Filter - Bessel and Butterworth filter. Cut-off frequency from 0.001 to 1000 Hz, which can be specified numerically.
• Linearization - Possibility to specify individual points (up to 21) or coefficients of cubic or quadratic equations.
• Statistics - Maximum, minimum, peak-to-peak, mean, etc.
• Limit switch - Two limit switches.
• Digital switching output - One permanently available, the other when data transfer is switched off (SIO mode)
• Units - Force signals are normally transmitted in newtons. Other units can be used as output signals.
