Description

U10F Tensile-Compressive Force Transducer: Capacities from 50 kN to 1.25 MN

Like the proven U10M and C10 transducers, the especially low-profile force transducers of the U10F series use the shear force transducer measurement principle to enable them to achieve the same outstanding accuracy and small deflection as their sister models. This makes the U10F load cells suitable for acquiring fast, dynamic force trends and static forces.

The sensors are hermetically welded and made of stainless steel. The installation process is significantly facilitated by flange connections on both sides, in comparison to sensors with central threads. To facilitate this process, HBK offers screw sets with a coated finish for corrosion protection. The coating also ensures a uniform and low coefficient of friction, eliminating the need for greasing or oiling of the screws.

Various practical configurations allow the U10F, like its sister models (the U10M and C10), to be adapted flexibly to suit different measurement tasks.

New: With the new option “VAIO”, the U10F comes along with an integrated digital amplifier. Your advantages:

  • Greater precision: Linearity error 0.005 % for capacities up to 250 kN, higher capacities improved to 0.03 %. TC0: 0.006 %/ 10 K.
  • Improved reliability: The Sensor Health monitoring of the U10F sends warnings in case of exceeding temperature or mechanical limits before problems occur.
  • More information: Temperature measurement, statistical information.
  • Lower costs, easy setup: The U10F with the VAIO option comes along as adjusted sensor: No more complicated or time consuming setups. Immediately upon connection of the U10F to an IO-Link master, precise readings in Newton are obtained. Low cabling costs. 
  • Standard features: Limit switches, peak detection, digital output, filter.
  • Fast: Internal sampling rate: 40 kHz, 1 ms cycling time to the IO-Link master.

Please have a look at the K-U10F model. Beside many other options, you can find order information for the IO-Link version as well. 

 

Advantages of all U10F:

Precise

  • Benchmark precision.
  • TC0 of only 150 ppm/10 K (just 75 ppm/ 10K with integrated amplifier). 
  • Low linearity error (0.035 – 0.05 % depending on the capacity, just 0.005 % with integrated digital amplifier).
  • Very low hysteresis (0.04 – 0.05 % depending on the capacity).

Investing in accuracy today will ensure cost-effectiveness in the long term. Precision enables a larger measurement range. Perform more measurement tasks using the same sensor.

Robust and durable

  • Made from stainless steel, IP68 degree of protection (with cable option).
  • High overload reserves.
  • High fatigue strength even when the measurement range is fully utilized in alternating tension/compression mode.
  • Vibration, shock and EMC tested in compliance with international guidelines.
  • Sensor health monitoring warns you in case of exceeding mechanical or thermal limits (for sensors with integrated amplfier).

The U10F is a reliable product. Climatic and EMC testing at HBK ensures failsafe operation even under difficult conditions. The integrated amplifier option is a further enhancement to its reliability.

Easy-to-install and adaptable

  • Easy installation using screw connections – you only need a torque wrench.
  • High-strength, corrosion-resistant screws are available as a mounting kit (including detailed information on maximal parasitic forces and moments).
  • Practical configuration options, for example, double bridge, various plug and cable options, TEDS, etc.
  • IO-LINK output available as an option.

Fast and reliable installation using standard tools. Clear specification of the mechanical load capacity in practical use!
