Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
No. HBM specifies C9C for compressive-force measurement. For tension, select a series specified for that direction, such as U9C, subject to its configuration data.
HBM specifies the EDO9 thrust piece to keep torque and bending moments away from the transducer. Apply compressive force vertically in accordance with the mounting instructions.
Order a passive transducer or a measuring chain with a permanently connected amplifier providing voltage, current or IO-Link. These are alternative ordering configurations, not simultaneous outputs on every sensor.
No. The drawing separates 50–200 N, 0.5–20 kN and 50 kN versions. Hole patterns and height also vary, so use the exact capacity’s drawing.
No. The datasheet specifies corrosion-resistant construction and IP67. This does not replace environmental checks for all components of the measurement chain.
