About the Model 13 miniature compressive force sensor
The Model 13 (compression only) subminiature force transducer is designed to measure load ranges up to 4kN. With subminiature dimensions, including diameters from 0.38 in to 0.75 in and heights from 0.13 in to 0.25 in, these units are easy to incorporate into systems with limited space.
Model 13 combines high frequency response with low deflection to achieve combined nonlinearity and hysteresis of 0.25% to 0.5% full scale. A balance module for temperature compensation is included in the measurement cell cable and may not be removed.
