MBB-02 | Miniature Force Sensor-1

MINIATURE FORCE SENSORS FEATURES ▪ Nominal capacity: 0.01 N, 0.05 N, 0.1 N, 0.5 N, 1 N and 5 N ▪ Semiconductor strain gauges ▪ Built-in high-capacity overload protection ▪ Minute displacement ▪ High natural frequency ▪ High-strength aluminum alloy measuring spring ▪ Compact dimensions ▪ Force applicable in two positions Fig. 1: MBB-02 Series | Miniature Force Sensor (caliper not included) ▪ Humidity compensated version available (Optional) DESCRIPTION The MBB-02 Miniature Force Sensor is designed for micromeasurement. It is used by many high end watch manufacturers for measuring the friction in the movement of mechanical watches and is also used in various medical applications. The MBB-02 is entirely made of aluminum to combine lightness and stability of measurement. It has a nominal capacity range of 0.01  to 5  and uses semi-conductor strain gauges. N N Having a larger gauge factor than foil types, semiconductor strain gauges allow the measurement of very small strain. The sensor integrates a built-in overload protection offering up to 25 times security. Dedicated to laboratory applications, it is suitable for a temperature range of +15 °C to +25 °C. It can be easily connected to a PC or display unit through an external Wheatstone bridge amplifier. A version for Air Humidity compensation in ranges of 30 % to 60 % HR is also available. Applied force radially acts on the sensors pin which can be independently positioned in 2 different locations, thus offering more operating flexibility. Special versions with various cable lengths and connector outputs are also available. APPLICATIONS The compact dimensions of the MBB-02 allows adaptation to a wide range of small and precision applications (watchmaking for example) as well as long term dynamic measurements.
