KD / STZ / KDB - Force transducer for calibration of material testing machines
The KD (compression cylinder) and STZ (tensile bar) special transducers have been designed according to the geometry requirements of ISO 376. Because of their maximum overall height they are suitable for the testing of material testing machines according to ISO 7500-1.
Product Description
The transducers enable the force measurement device itself and its machine frame to be tested under load. For this purpose the transducers have been equipped with four SG full bridges attached at the circumference of the transducer spring body and offset by 90° each.
The KDB transducer has been designed according to DIN 51302-2 or EN 12390-4, appendix A, and is therefore suitable for checking compression testing machines for building materials.
The four strain gage full bridges that have been attached at the circumference of the transducer spring body and offset by 90° each enable the transducer to be used for the tests required by the standard including the centric transmission of the testing force and the free movement or locking of the upper compression plate.
