Force Transducer and Force Sensor Overview: Measuring Forces Correctly with HBM

HBM force transducers and force sensors measure static and dynamic tensile and compressive loads - with virtually no displacement. Your force transducer and force sensor can be supplied in the most varied of designs and classes of accuracy.

Typical force measurement application areas include bench testing, e.g. force measurement to check material quality and automation technology, e.g. for monitoring quality during reshaping or bonding operations. HBM's own DKD force transducer calibration laboratory mirrors the company's force transducer and force sensor competence.
