Model 159A Miniature Force Transducers Description The 159A miniature force transducer is developed for force measurements which require a compact design. This model employs single-bending-beam working principle, so it needs to be installed as reverse beam in order to function properly. Based on BCM advanced strain gauge technology, the 159A provides excellent stability and reliability. This force transducer can be made from either beryllium copper or stainless steel to realize wide range from 1.2 N to 500N. - single bending beam working principle - reverse beam installation - compact design - stainless steel construction - range from 1.2N to 500N - accuracy up to 0.1%fs - force measurement - force control - medical instrumentation - home appliances Schematic Diagram of Reverse-Beam Mounting Arrangement H* *: H is different for different capacity.
