8230 Force Transducer IEPE, 44 N tensile to 44 N compressive range, cable not included

Types 8230, 8230-001, 8230-002 and 8230-003 are force transducers with integral electronics designed for dynamic, short-duration static and impact force measurements. The transducers are typically used for measuring applied forces in modal applications, for example, inserted directly between an exciter and the test structure or for general-purpose force measurements within process applications.

Product Data

Uses

Measurements of tensile and compressive forces
For modal or process applications

Features

Easily mounted
Includes impact cap
Low-impedance output
Rigid construction with high stiffness

The transducers are mounted using the ¼" – 28 UNF tapped holes on the top and bottom of the body. The transducers feature a 10 – 32 UNF side connector.

Characteristics

The transducers work on the piezoelectric effect of quartz, which when stressed, in this case compressed, gives an electrical charge proportional to the compressing force. This charge is converted to a low-impedance voltage output and the sensitivity is therefore expressed in terms of voltage per unit force (mV/N). The housing material is stainless steel giving a very stiff and rigid construction.

Calibration

The transducers are supplied with an individual calibration of the sensitivity.

Versions

Type 8230 has a sensitivity of 110 mV/N (500 mV/lbf).
