KUNWEI / KWT1C25 / Flange Mounted Tension Compresion Force Sensor

• KWT1C25 supports measure tension force and compression force, and the force measured are extremely precise because the unique structural design.
• The nonlinearity of the sensor is less than 0.1%, the hysteresis is less than 0.1%, and the repeatability is less than 0.05%.
• The deflection of the sensor is less than 0.02 mm at full-scale load .
• The working temperature is -10 °C~80 °C.
• The design of the standard threaded holes facilitates the connection and adjustment of the sensor during use.
• It has excellent mechanical properties and can withstand external loads such as torque, bending moment and side load.

Force sensors that can measure both tension and compression are commonly known as universal force sensors. However, some applications only require the measurement of a specific type of force. In these cases,single axis force sensors offer several advantages.

Firstly, these sensors are designed to be highly sensitive to the type of force they are measuring. This means that they can provide extremely accurate readings, which is essential in applications such as material testing, where the force being applied needs to be recorded with extreme precision.

Secondly, single-axis force sensors are often more compact and easy to install compared to universal force sensors. This is because they only need to be designed to measure a specific type of force, and therefore tend to be simpler in their construction.

Thirdly, single-axis force sensors tend to be less expensive than universal force sensors. This is because they are designed for a specific application, and therefore do not need to include the additional features required to measure both tension and compression forces.

Finally, single-axis force sensors are ideal for applications where only one specific type of force needs to be measured. This means that they are often used in applications such as weighing scales, where only the force of an object pressing down needs to be measured.

In conclusion, while universal force sensors are ideal for applications where both tension and compression forces need to be measured, single-axis force sensors offer several advantages in applications where only one specific type of force needs to be measured. These sensors are highly accurate, easy to install, less expensive, and ideal for applications such as weighing scales.
