KG Optical Force Transducers ● Different models to accommodate a wide range of forces and sensitivities ● Nearly insensitive to changes in temperature and ambient light ● Extremely high level of linearity ● Virtually indestructible with normal use ● Lifetime warranty ● Simple calibration ● KG transducers are required for use with SI-BAM21-type amplifiers MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY TRANSDUCER SPECIFICATIONS Unloaded transducer without tissue mounting support Force Range SI-KG2 SI-KG2B SI-KG4 SI-KGxx Range Noise Compliance Resonance (nm/mN) Frequency 0-2 N 0-200 g 250 µN 150 1.3 kHz 0-0.2 N 0-20 g 80 µN 590 Hz 0-50 mN 0-5 g 15 µN 0.5 1.2 kHz contact us for specialty transducers with different ranges. Tissue Mounting Hooks Mounting hooks can be used in a variety of combinations, depending on the type of tissue to be examined. Mounting hooks are sold in kits. Currently, there are 11 kit configurations, each available in four different sizes. The mounting hook size that is required depends on the force transducer used. Tweezer Basket Pointed Hook Blunt Hook Spring Clip Screw Clip Tendon Hook *The 97909 tissue mount adapter tube (OD:0.096˝, ID:0.035˝) allows you to use SI-KG4 size mounting hooks with SI-KG2 size force transducers.
