Column-shaped compressive Force Sensor XCP-171
especially suitable for dynamic applications with steep force curves
For accurate measurement of high speed forces
The column-shaped XCP-171 Pressure Force Sensor comes with an M3 internal thread at the top and bottom. These are used for mounting, or centring at the installation location. With its stable upsetting body, the force transducer is suitable as a compression Force Sensor for dynamic applications, especially for measuring rapidly occurring forces.
The XCP-171 measures precisely and quickly in the force range from 1 kg to 100 kg. The Sensor also offers excellent long-term stability. The diameter of the Force Transducer is 16 mm. The compressive Force Sensor is particularly suitable for precisely measuring the forces that occur in manually operated and automatic presses. The steeply rising force curves in typical press applications are recorded with high accuracy by the compact upsetting body of the sensor.
For the measuring principle of the column-shaped Force Sensors, upsetting measuring bodies are used on which the strain gauges are applied. The strain gauge Force Sensor is integrated directly into the force flow.
The force is applied centrally and axially via the two internal threads.

Installation and use
Electrical connection
The Force Sensors from X-Sensors are based on a strain gauge full bridge with strain gauges. The output signal for this Sensor is specified in mV/V. Various input modules of controllers already allow the direct connection of Force Sensors with strain gauge full bridge.
In addition, measuring Amplifiers with voltage output (0-10 V) and current output (4-20 mA) are available, which amplify the strain gauge full bridges accordingly. The measuring Amplifiers are available in a robust field housing, for DIN rail mounting or in an inline housing.
Mechanical connection / construction
The advantages of the compression Force Sensors are the easy handling. The force acting centrically from above is measured. The various Force Sensors are versatile and are used in the areas of material testing machines, hardness testers, measurement of compressive forces, press-in force control and as Load Cells.
The mounting of the strain gauge Force Sensors is uncomplicated, either via the thread or via the prefabricated holes, depending on the model.
