Tension and compression force sensor CTS01

Product catalog summary

Overview
The CTS01 is a tension and compression force sensor designed for precise axial force measurement, suitable for both dynamic and static applications. It features a low-profile design and is constructed from stainless steel.

Special Features

Low profile design for ease of integration.
Capable of measuring forces in both tension and compression.
Constructed from durable stainless steel.

Functionality
The sensor operates on the membrane principle, utilizing full bridge strain gauges to convert mechanical elongations into proportional electrical signals. This design ensures minimal measurement errors, even under extreme eccentric forces.

Amplification and Signal Conditioning
HAEHNE provides compatible amplifiers, such as the MV125, to condition the sensor's output and supply the necessary bridge voltage.

Scope of Supply

Force sensor with a flat design.
5-meter PVC cable with a straight cable gland (Variant T).
Optional plug connection (Variant N2) with M12 moulded connector.
Explosion-proof option available (Option F) with J-Box.

Technical Data

Nominal force: 10, 20 kN.
Maximum operating force: 160% of nominal force.
Absolute maximum force: 1000% of nominal force.
Combined error: 0.5%.
Nominal rating: 1 mV/V.
Maximum bridge supply voltage: 700 Ω.
Maximum excitation voltage: 10 V DC.
Nominal ambient temperature: +10 to +60°C (+50 to +140°F).
Operational temperature range: -10 to +70°C (+14 to +158°F).
Enclosure protection: IP 67.
Standard sensor cable: PVC, grey, 4 x 0.34 mm².

Tension and compression force sensor CTS01-1

Scope of Supply Force sensor with flat design, 5 m cable (PVC) and connection variant T: cable gland, straight Variant N2: Plug connection, straight, M12, moulded Additional Options F: For use in explosive areas, incl. J-Box Special Features • Low profile • For dynamic and static force measurement in tension-compression range • Made of stainless steel Ordering Example CTS01-20k-TF Type Nominal force Variants/ Options The tension and compression force sensors CTS was developed for the precise measurement of forces, which works in axial direction. For this purpose, the outer ring is flanged to the mounting surface and the force passes into the centre bore. The force sensor function according to the membrane principle to which full bridge strain gauges are applied. The sensor elements captures the elongations in the membrane and transform them into electrical signals proportional to the force. HAEHNE offers for all its sensors a corresponding range of amplifiers, e.g. the measuring amplifier MV125, to condition the measuring signal and deliver the bridge voltage supply. Due to the design principle applied the measuring errors remain negligibly small even in case of extreme eccentrically acting forces.
