Description

Features

The rugged design of these force transducers is needed for
use in harsh operating conditions such as in cranes,
construction machinery and for maritime applications.
The sensors are suitable for force measurement in pulleys,
fork bearings and roller bearings. The force is measured
either directly in the full force flow or at a torque support in
these locations. Because of their structural design,
measuring axles can be installed as a direct substitute for
clevis pins in existing structures. Sensitive components such
as connectors or electronics are given mechanically
protection.

•

In addition to our force transducer program with bonded foils,
this new force transducer with a welded thin film sensor was
developed. The usage of standardised sensors, which are
welded into the measuring element, makes an automated
manufacturing possible. Thin film sensors, produced by very
modern manufacturing technology, have all advantages of the
conventional bonded foil strain gauges, but without having
their substantial disadvantages (temperature drifts of the glue
and creeping).
Different output signals are available: analogue standard
output signals 4...20 mA, 0...10V or an mV/V output signal.
The load pins meet
EMC requirements acc. to
EN 61326-1:2006, EN 61326-2-3:2006 and work reliable in
difficult electromagnetic environment. For safety relevant
applications the load pins are optionally available in a
redundant version.
ATEX (Option)
Only equipment and protective systems with the
corresponding certification and markings are to be put into
operation in potentially explosive areas. Our force
transducers with a thin-film measuring cell and integrated
amplifier now have approval according to directive 94/9/EC in
equipment group II (non-mining products), category 2G for
zones 1 and 2 (gases). Other zones on request.
