Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions about our products and services

CMC combines a piezoelectric force transducer, cable and charge amplifier. The manufacturer describes chain calibration from force in newtons to voltage, unlike three independently selected components without chain calibration.

The manufacturer specifies a second measurement range with fivefold amplification. This is an amplifier-range selection, not an increase in the head’s permissible force.

The amplifier table documents a ±10 V output. The head’s charge is processed by the amplifier, so acquisition must match the chain output.

No. The table specifies 10 kHz at −3 dB and 5 kHz at −1 dB. These are amplifier frequency-response properties; DAQ sampling rate is separate.

No. The datasheet specifies accuracy class 0.5 for the documented CMC chain. Replacing a cable or amplifier does not establish that the new combination retains its chain calibration and performance.
