Benefiting from advanced machining techniques, the F300’s complex beam structure offers
reliable error compensation in a cylindrical, 'donut' style footprint.
Whereas the long established 'donut' products such as the F202 require near perfect loading
conditions, the F300's unique strain system compensates for typical axial misalignment as
well as the combination of large sideloads and small moments. This has been used to good
effect in ‘Junkers’ test machines, subjected to an extreme, rapid cycling of large sideloads,
for bolt tension and 'self-loosening' fastener tests. Further details of this application, along
with simple error equations for the F300 loadcell can be found in Engineering Sheet
E036.
The circular patterns of fixing holes are deliberately over engineered to withstand potentially
large moment effects and allow tension, compression and bi-directional versions as standard.
There is also the added potential for customer supplied adaptor plates to give versatile end
fixing options. Note that care should be taken to ensure the correct lengths of screws are
used and that these are torqued correctly as given in E036.
We are happy to design variants of this loadcell to meet your specific requirements. Ranges
above 5kN can be manufactured for fully compensated operation up to +250°C. Please
consult our engineering department for further information.
