The Dytran series 1212 is a low profile ring style IEPE force sensor offered with a sensitivity range from 1.0–10 mV/lbf sensitivity with a 10 foot integral cable with a BNC plug termination. The industry commonly refers to the sensors as "force washers", due to their similar appearance. Units were designed to measure rapid or slowly changing dynamic forces in machinery and other applications where a thru stud or bolt holds the sensor in place in a preloaded condition. The series 1212V can measure vibratory compressive forces over a wide frequency range and unidirectional pulsing forces from punch and forming presses and other repetitive force applications as well as impact forces. As an IEPE sensor, the series 1212V features built–in electronics, eliminating the need for an external charge amplifier and converter.

The series 1212V is offered with a full scale range from 500– 5,000 lbs. Design of the series 1212V features a quartz sensing element, operating in compression mode and packaged in a rugged stainless steel housing weighing 8 grams.

Features:

  • Stainless steel
