Strain transducer with integrated amplifier for analogue output

The strain transducers work in the force shunt and are easily attached with four screws to any component where loads need to be determined. The integrated amplifier ensures that the force measurement can be easily set up and implemented.

HBM has developed a Teach-In Method via the control contact to simplify the amplifier set-up. All the operator needs do is to define both the zero and the maximum loading positions, and then set corresponding control impulses. This action sets the amplifier so that the output signal is at maximum and the resolution is optimised. The amplifier has a limit frequency of 1000Hz, making the strain transducer highly suitable for dynamic measurements.

SLB700A/06VA-1/2 strain transducers can be used for diverse applications ranging from measurements in wind power plants and monitoring of buildings, to applications in production systems such as presses, welding machines or injection moulding machines. The latest version is mechanically backward-compatible with the existing passive HBM strain transducer SLB700. This means that applications can be easily upgraded by simply fitting the new active strain transducer with integrated electronics as a direct replacement.
