Model 342-1

Electrical Force Transducers – Model 342 n n n n n n n n The electrical force transducers of the model series 342 work by using a sputtered strain gauge technology and thereby they reach a good accuracy. They are characterised by their flat design with very small di- mensions, as well as by their high long term zero point stability and their low hysteresis. The highly sophisticated force transducers are excellently suitable for tensile and compressive measurements Capacities: 1N to 100N Very small dimensions For compression and tension Modern technology Sputtered strain gauges High accuracy Sensitivity: 2mV/V TEDS module available 1) (Installation inside plug) in very small measuring ranges. Applications: Medical instrumentation, scales, laboratory use, force measurement, robotics.
