Transducer selection guide

Click on the model number to view the specifications of the transducer. Use the Metric/English selector to the left to select the desired display units.

The above table lists some of AMTI's most popular transducers. If you are unable to find a transducer that meets your requirements we will be pleased to quote a custom transducer design for you.

The D.O.F. column specifies the number of degrees of freedom of the transducer which is sometimes referred to as the number of axes or channels. Unless otherwise noted the D.O.F. column specifies the maximum number of channels for a particular transducer.

The capacity column specifies the range of available Fz capacities. Most of our transducers are available in several different capacities. Please review the specification details of each transducer for available capacities. Also note that different channels may have different capacities. It is important to size your transducer for the largest force and for the largest moment that will be applied. It is particularly important to pay attention to the moment capacities when the applied loads are not acting through the physical center of the transducer. In this case the applied moment may be calculated as the product of the applied force times the distance from the point of load application to the center of the transducer.

The form column describes the overall transducer package form. Standard forms are cylindrical, rectangular,platform or flanged. Cylinderical form transducers have either a bolt circle pattern for mounting or in the case of some of the smaller transducers a cylinderical clamping post. The rectangular form transducers typically have a bolt pattern with threaded inserts or through holes for mounting. Platform type transducers usually have a rectangular bolt mounting pattern on the pase with a free top surface for load application. Flanged transducers are designed for mounting on a tooling work surface.

The dimensions column gives the overall transducer envelope (specified as a rectangular envelope) . Use the units selector box to view the envelope dimensions in metric or English units.

The comments/applications column indicates special features or typical applications for the specific transducer.
