The Hangkai Microelectronic HKVL-80 is an 80mm-diameter six-axis force/torque sensor with an alloy-steel body, integrated signal electronics and a reinforced cable outlet. Choose 80D or 80E to measure three forces and three moments for robotic force-control and industrial test integration.
Choose Your Measurement Range
| Model | Fx / Fy, each | Fz | Mx / My / Mz, each |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80D | 1200N | 2000N | 30N·m |
| 80E | 1500N | 3000N | 40N·m |
Ratings apply separately to the named axes. Torque range, force range and overload limits are not robot payload ratings. Select the range for the expected load components, tooling mass and mounting arrangement.
Supplier Specifications
| Body diameter / height | 80 / 25.5mm |
|---|---|
| Sensor mass | ≤0.4kg |
| Material | Alloy steel |
| Overload level | 300% FS |
| Resolution | <0.05% FS |
| Accuracy | 2% FS |
| Repeatability | 0.1% FS |
| Sampling frequency | 150–1000Hz, customizable |
| Supply | 12–36VDC |
| Communication capabilities in table | RS485 / CAN-FD / EtherCAT, customizable |
FS means full scale. Values are supplier data. The overload figure is not a recommended continuous operating load, and resolution should not be confused with measurement accuracy.
Communication and Integration
The communication illustration additionally lists Modbus over RS485 and CAN2.0, alongside CAN-FD and EtherCAT. The 80D/80E sales labels do not specify a delivered interface suffix, while a generic Gallery banner mentions EtherCAT. These describe available configurations rather than proving every protocol is included simultaneously. Confirm the actual protocol, connector pinout, power wiring and sample-rate setting for the selected sensor before integration.
The source emphasizes high-rate sampling, real-time transmission, low cross-talk and a reinforced cable gland. It supplies no numerical IP rating, cable length, cross-talk limit, thermal range or detailed mounting-hole drawing. Check the delivered mechanical drawing before designing a mounting plate.
Sales Options and Package Scope
- 80D sensor: one sensor with the 1200/2000N and 30N·m ranges above.
- 80E sensor: one sensor with the 1500/3000N and 40N·m ranges above.
- RS485-to-USB adapter only: separate PC connection accessory; no sensor.
- CAN-to-USB adapter only: separate PC connection accessory; no sensor.
The two adapters retain their shared source image. Select an adapter to match the actual sensor interface. A CAN-to-USB label does not establish CAN-FD support. Generic sensor photographs show series views; they are not extra units or variant-specific interface evidence.
Integration Resources
Supplier materials describe tutorials, PC software, a user manual and examples, including a sensor-to-PC connection guide. The software display is illustrative. Confirm operating-system support, download availability, configuration tools and documentation for the delivered sensor.
