Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
C10 is designed to measure compressive force. Select another transducer when tensile-force measurement is required.
No. The datasheet qualifies IP68 by the fixed-cable option and nominal force of at least 25 kN. Check the selected configuration.
It provides two electrically isolated measuring bridges in one sensing body for connection to separate amplifiers.
C10 offers different connector and cable options. Match the connection code to the amplifier and required protection.
Some C10 models have a rated output above 4 mV/V; the improvement description specifies this from 25 kN capacity. Select a bridge input and excitation matching the actual model sensitivity to avoid clipping; do not apply one value to every capacity.
