Product catalog summary
Product Description: The burster 8438 Miniature Ring Load Cell is designed to measure force by converting it into an electrical output signal using strain gages in a full bridge circuit. The force must be applied axially and perpendicularly to the sensor's surface. For optimal accuracy, the sensor should be placed on a smooth, hardened surface (≥ 58 HRC) and lateral forces should be avoided.
Highlights: The sensor offers measuring ranges from 0 to 200 kN, features a flat disc design, and is protected under IP65. It includes a completely welded sensor body and an internal thread for fixing.
Options: Available options include burster TEDS, standardization of nominal sensitivity, various cable lengths, and customizable geometry.
Applications: The sensor is suitable for force monitoring during riveting, measuring contact forces in hydraulic stamps, monitoring pulling forces during wire production, and monitoring forces in prestressed concrete structures.
Technical Data: The sensor provides a range of measurements calibrated in N and kN, with accuracy specifications including relative non-linearity and characteristic curve deviation. It operates within a nominal temperature range of +15 °C to +70 °C and has a protection class of IP54 or IP65.
Mounting Instructions: The sensor requires even mounting surfaces with specific hardness and parallelism. It includes three mounting holes for compression load only.
Accessories: Various connectors and units are available, including mobile measuring devices and digital indicators.
Calibration: The sensor comes with a test and calibration certificate, with options for factory calibration and calibration certificates with accreditation symbols.
Additional Information: Brochures, product videos, and CAD data are available for download on the burster website.

Conversion of the acting force into an electrical output signal is performed by strain gages connected together in a full bridge circuit. To achieve optimal accuracy, the base of the sensor should rest on a smooth level surface, hardened to at least ≥ 58 HRC with sufficient dimensions. The base cover welded to the surface has a stabilizing effect on the sensor element. Lateral forces must be avoided anyway as they distort the measured results. Tension and bending relief for the sensor cable is to be carried out on the machine side. burster Sensors and Process Instruments – Technical changes reserved. All data sheets at www.burster.co
