The single-axis force sensors of the K1A series represent precise and robust force measurement technology for tension and compression forces in one axis. Their mechanical design is derived from the proven K3A 3-axis sensor series, using the same high-quality structural concept and established strain gauge technology. Unlike the K3A sensors, however, the K1A sensors are consistently optimized for a single Z-axis – essentially the same stable construction, focused on one measurement direction.

A key feature of the series is the flange mounting design, which enables secure, backlash-free, and highly rigid installation within the surrounding structure. This ensures reliable and repeatable force transmission and simplifies integration into test benches, machinery, and automation systems.

Due to their mechanical design, K1A sensors are significantly more resistant to bending moments than conventional single-axis force sensors. They also provide high robustness against eccentric force introduction and deliver reliable measurement results within their specified operating point, even under non-ideal loading conditions. Their robust construction makes them particularly suitable for demanding industrial applications requiring stability, repeatability, and long-term reliability.
