Force measuring pin, type 0201 For the precise force measurement at bearing points BROSA force measuring pins are made of highstrength stainless steel and meet the highest requirements. Depending on the applicationspecific conditions the BROSA force measuring pins are designed and produced according to different, partly patented design concepts. High measurement accuracies are ensured for a long time by considering the exact installation situation from the construction to the calibration of the sensors.

Force measuring pin MEMS, type 0201 For the flexible measurement of the rope load in sheaves BROSA force measuring pins MEMS are a further development of the tried and tested BROSA force measuring pins that enable the direct measurement of the rope load in crane booms. An integrated MEMS sensor allows the calculation of the suspended load depending on the position of the boom. Thanks to the integration of two measurement systems, the complexity of the design can be further reduced. Any possible parasitic influences are thus reduced to a minimum.

Force measuring pin MOP type 0202 , For the precise and robust measurements at bearing points BROSA force measuring pins with mechanical stop (mechanical overload protection) are made of high-strength stainless steel and can withstand the highest loads. The integrated stop is able to effectively absorb very high overload shocks both in the direction of measurement and against the direction of measurement without the sensor being damaged. Compared to a normal force measuring pin, the ratio between nominal load and maximum load is increased by a factor of 3. These characteristics were developed...

Tubular load cell, type 0206 For the flexible measurement of radical forces BROSA tubular load cells measure radial forces acting on an axis with a constant or variable direction of the force transfer. BROSA tubular load cells can be used even in case of axes that had not been suitable for force measurements due to their dimensions or deflection. The combination of several tubular load cells on one axis is possible. Optionally, it is possible to equip BROSA tubular load cells with an integrated angle sensor that measures the inclination of the sensor. The output signal can be the resulting force...
