Overview
The MK1205 is a strain-gauge force sensor built on a mature measurement principle, giving stable, accurate output across industrial force-monitoring duties. Its simple mechanical design installs and removes without specialised procedures, and it can be placed where other cell types will not fit. Measurement taken directly on the machine structure makes it useful for deformation study and safety monitoring of large equipment.
Key Features
- Mature strain-gauge measurement principle
- Simple, quick installation and replacement
- Fits awkward or space-limited mounting positions
- Measures strain directly on machine structure
- High accuracy (–) for precise measurement
- Stainless steel elastic element for durability and corrosion resistance
Applications
Applied to force monitoring on large machinery under heavy service loads, and for direct strain measurement where space for a conventional force sensor is limited.
