Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
Yes. HBM specifies U9C for tensile and compressive force measurement. Select the rated capacity and configuration for the application.
No. The series has different configurations: passive mV/V, amplified 0–10 V or 4–20 mA, and an optional IO-Link version. Select the configuration for the acquisition or control system.
The datasheet specifies IP67 for the transducer. Check the selected connector, amplifier and system connections separately.
No. Dimensions and threads vary with nominal force. For example, the 2–20 kN group uses M10, while the 50 kN version uses M16×1.5.
No. It is the transducer’s accuracy class. The table separately specifies linearity, repeatability, hysteresis and temperature effects. Amplifier and installation contributions also matter.
