PCB Dynamic Force Sensors

Series 208C General Purpose Force Sensors

  PDF Datasheet | Request Info 

  • The 208 Series quartz force sensors are general purpose medium range sensors for dynamic measurements such as compression, impact, reaction, and actuation forces in testing, vibrating, tensioning, balancing, striking, welding, rolling, cutting, coining, pressing, machining, punching, and similar operations. They measure dynamic and short-term static forces from 0.0002 to 5000 pounds at any level within this range.

  • These sensors have a side-exit connector with 10-32 tapped mounting holes on the top and bottom surfaces. They easily install to the test structure with 10-32 mounting studs. The high stiffness of these sensors allows them to become an integral part of the structure under test. A removable curved impact cap for use in drop testing applications is supplied with each sensor.
