The force sensor KD45 has the geometry of a miniature load cell. It is fastened on one side using the through holes ø3.2. There is a thread M3 for force transmission.

Force transmission is displaced parallel under loading. The force sensor tolerates displacements of force transmission and lateral forces due to its design as a double beam.

The force sensor KD45 is designed as a multi-range sensor. The accuracy of 0.1% is already reached at a nominal output of 0.5mV/V. This means that the zero point stability is 4 times higher than in a sensor with nominal output of 2mV/V. The KD45 force sensor can be used up to an output signal of 2mV/V or up to four times the specified nominal force.

The KD45 sensor is available in aluminum and steel versions. The steel version is optionally designed for a maximum operating temperature of 150°C. The steel version is suitable for test benches with high continuous loads.
