Force Sensor KD24S
Nominal force ranges ±2N, ±10N, ±20N, ±50N, ±100N
The force sensor KD24S is the smallest s-shaped force sensor. It is excellently suited for
testing tasks in quality assurance as well as in material testing. Inward and outward force
transmission are arranged centrically. Under loading the force transmission brackets are
moved parallel.
Like the KD40s the force sensor KD24S is constructed as a multi-range sensor. The
accuracy of 0.1% is already reached at an output of 0.5 mV/V.
Sensors from 2 to 20N can be operated with 4 times and sensors from 50 to 100N with
two times their nominal force range.
It is recommended to fix the sensor cable side (bottom side on picture) on the non-moving
side of force transmission.

Force Sensor KD40S
Nominal force ranges ±2N, ±10N, ±20N, ±50N, ±100N , ±500N, ±1000N, ±2000N
The force sensor KD40S is very well suited for testing tasks in quality assurance as well as
in materials testing due to its compact construction.
Inward and outward force transmission are arranged centrically.
The force sensors KD40S up to 100N are constructed as multi-range sensors. The
accuracy of 0.1% is already reached at an rated output of 0.5 mV/V. This means that the
zero-point stability is 4 times higher than in a sensor with the nominal output of 2 mV/V.
The force sensor KD40S can be used up to an output signal of 2 mV/V or four times the
specified nominal force.
The force sensor KD40S (up to 100 N) should be installed in such way that the outgoing
cables are assigned to the immobile side of the measuring construction. Thus forces from
the connecting cable do not have an influence on measurement results.
From 500N upwards the force sensors KD40s have a nominal rated output of 1.0mV/V.
They can safely be overloaded up to 1.5x their nominal force.
The cable output can be found in the middle of the two force transmission beams.
For force transfer there exists one thread M5 (up to 100N) and M6 (from 500N) in the top
and bottom side of the force sensor.
Additionally there is a thread M6 (from 500N) that can be used as anti-twist protection.
The force sensor from a nominal force of 1000N has a height of 34 mm.

Force Sensor KD45

The force sensor KD45 has the geometry of a miniature load cell. It is fastened on one

Force transmission is displaced parallel under loading. The force sensor tolerates
displacements of force transmission and lateral forces due to its design as a double beam.
The force sensor KD45 is designed as a multi-range sensor. The accuracy of 0.1% is

Force Sensor KD78
Nominal force range ±0.5N
The force sensor KD78 is used for force measurement in the millinewton range or for
weighing purposes with a resolution of approx. 10 mg.
Due to the sensor's low weight and its high natural frequency of approx. 400Hz, high
measurement rates of up to 50Hz can be realized despite the low measurement range of
0.5 newton. Also filtering in order to refine resolution can be conducted.
The best possible resolution is achieved with the 24bit measuring amplifier GSV-2.

Force Sensor KD191
Nominal load ranges (tension/compression) 50kg, 100kg, 200kg, 500kg, 1000kg
The force sensor KD 191 is used in weighing platforms and in test beds. It allows the
installation of a platform sized 900 x 900mm (or 600mm x 600mm for the load range
1000kg) for force introduction.
The solid construction allows force transmission over a large surface and incorporates
lateral forces and torque without any significant loss of accuracy. The measurement error
resulting from an eccentric load of 25% of the nominal load is less than 0.01% of the
reference input. This force sensor is ideal for use in industrial test beds and sports
medicine.
The force sensor KD 191 conforms to the stringent European requirements for use in trade
approved scales. Thanks to a double epoxy resin cover, this force sensor is also able to
withstand high humidity. It fulfills the 12-day moisture test according to IEC 68-2-30.
