PACEline CFW Piezoelectric Force Washer
CFW Piezoelectric Load Washer: Capacities From 20 kN to 700 kN
PACEline CFW load washers are highly reliable sensors that deliver dependable results even in harsh industrial environments and are EMC-tested. A careful and precise production process ensures minimal non-linearity resulting in a wide measurement range from few newtons up to kilonewtons. Very high stiffness allows for a high fundamental frequency and makes the sensor the ideal solution for fast processes in research and production. The force washers’ internal diameters are in line with market standards, thus easy integration is guaranteed. HBM provides pre-stressing sets for pre-stressing of the CFW sensors. Please watch our tutorial video for an explanation of how to easily calibrate your sensor.
