Description
MD-01 – Transducers
Product Description
Magtrol’s MD-01 Transducers are designed for measuring static and dynamic compression loads. Using strain gauge technology, deformation of the sensing element provides an electrical signal proportional to the load or force being measured.
With quick single-screw mounting, this transducer can be easily integrated into wide array of applications.
Features
- Nominal capacity: 2 kN, 5 kN, and 10kN
- Cost effective: high accuracy and long service reliability
- Damage-resistant (no mechanically sensitive parts)
- Resistant to chemical mediums (suitable for use in moist environments and chemical plants)
- Welded stainless steel housing; IP 67 protection class
- Small size: ideal for space-saving applications
- Simple installation: single-screw mounting (M6)
