Z4A Reference Force Transducer: Calibrating and Measuring Precisely in a Range between 20 kN and 500 kN
The transfer standards (with regard to reference force transducers) of the Z4A series come with a monolithic design, i.e., the spring element constitutes one piece. The Z4A force transducers are produced in compliance with high manufacturing standards—a determining factor for the transfer standards’ small hysteresis and excellent reproducibility.
The Z4A transducers have four measuring points, each of which is offset from the other by 90 degrees. This facilitates bending moment compensation and makes the sensor exceedingly insensitive to bending moments.
ISO376-compliant mounting accessories for tensile and compressive force are available to complement the Z4A.
