Ring style force sensor for rugged applications

METROMATICS is distributing the Dytran Instruments 1212V3 ring style force sensor which measures rapid or slowly changing dynamic forces in machinery.

The Dytran 1212V3 is a low profile ring style IEPE force sensor with a 1.0 mV/lbf sensitivity and 10 foot integral cable with a BNC plug termination. A thru stud or bolt holds the sensor in place in a preloaded condition for force measurements.

The 1212V3 can measure vibratory compressive forces over a wide frequency range and unidirectional pulsing forces from punch and forming presses, and other repetitive force applications including impact forces.

The 1212V3 features built-in electronics, eliminating the need for an external charge amplifier and converter. It is offered with a full scale range of 2,268kg, and features a quartz sensing element, operating in compression mode and packaged in rugged stainless steel housing.
