What is the Force Sensor 402?
The Force Sensor 402 is a strain gauge-based transducer designed to measure forces such as tension, compression, or torque. It converts mechanical force into an electrical signal for monitoring or automation.
Key Features
High precision and repeatability for accurate force measurement
Robust mechanical design for industrial environments
Wide force range suitable for various applications
Versatile output options: mV/V, 0β5V, 0β10V, 4β20mA, or digital
Temperature-compensated for consistent readings across different conditions
Working Principle
The Force Sensor 402 uses strain gauge technology:
Mechanical force is applied to the sensor element.
The strain gauge deforms slightly, changing its electrical resistance.
The change is converted to a small voltage signal using a Wheatstone bridge.
The signal is amplified, filtered, and transmitted to a controller or data acquisition system.
This process ensures high-resolution, linear output proportional to the applied force.
