The KD12s force sensor is currently the smallest S-shaped force sensor.
The end faces of the force sensor each contain an M2.5 internal thread for attaching the sensor or for attaching a tool. The assembly of the sensor or a tool or a tool holder can be easily achieved thanks to the shoulders, a positive connection with an anti-twist device.
The sensor is available in two versions:
Standard version with a PUR cable and a potting with PUR plastic for use in temperature ranges up to 80°C
Autoclavable version KD12S 20N/AC with a Teflon cable and a silicone seal for use up to 150°C
The KD12s force sensor is made of titanium 3.7165 (Ti6Al-4V).
The KD12s force sensor is dimensioned for a nominal force of 20 N and can be used without defects up to a limit force of 60 N.
Areas of application for the sensor include tactile processes in microelectronics or optics and in minimally invasive surgery.
A version with semiconductor strain gauges for a nominal force of 1 N is also available as an option.
It is recommended to mount the sensor so that the connection cable is assigned to the immovable, permanently mounted side of the sensor.
