Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions about our products and services

CFT is a piezoelectric compression-force transducer. Gallium-phosphate elements produce a charge signal with force, rather than a strain-gauge bridge mV/V output.

Use a suitable charge cable and charge amplifier. The amplifier converts charge into voltage or a digital signal according to the acquisition system.

No. The manual distinguishes 5 kN and 20 kN nominal-force versions, with their own mechanical properties and force limits.

The manual lists connection cables as accessories outside standard delivery. Select length and connectors for the transducer and charge amplifier.

The manual lists a CSB4/1 summing box for parallel connection of up to four piezoelectric sensors to one charge amplifier. This produces a combined signal rather than four independent measurements.
