Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
U2B uses strain gauges to measure tensile and compressive forces in static and dynamic applications.
No. Alongside passive versions, integrated-amplifier versions provide voltage or current output. Select the version for the measurement chain.
The manufacturer specifies IP67 and stainless-steel construction for U2B.
It denotes the integrated amplifier’s bandwidth, not an ADC sampling rate.
It reduces the influence of lateral forces and bending moments on the force result. It does not remove mechanical load limits; design force introduction according to the installation instructions and selected capacity.
