HBK has added an IO-Link interface option to its U9C (tension and compression, right) and C9C (compression only, below left) force sensors. Described as miniature by the company, versions of the ...

The sensors easing digital up-grades by having identical mechanical dimensions and threads to their analogue counterparts. “With a standardised interface to any PLC, HBK’s digital force sensors are ...

Researchers have developed a tiny fiber optic force sensor that can measure extremely slight forces exerted by small objects. The new light-based sensor overcomes the limitations of force sensors ...
