The force sensor KM40 is a precision force sensor in membrane construction for the measurement of compressive forces. The force sensor is fastened to a flat surface with four screws M4. There is a spherical cap with a radius of 50 mm provided for the force transmission. The force is applied with a flat plate against the cap. The strength introduction occurs with a flat plate against the cap.

The hardness of the spherical cap is HRC 54.
A flattening of the spherical cap from a load of about 20kN is therefore possible.
Environmental protection rating is IP 67.

In contrast to the force sensors KD, KD’s and LC series lateral forces from about 5% the original naming power can lead to a measurement error greater than 1%. Therefore, the force transmission must be centric.
