Low-Cost Compressive Load CellWith IN-LINE amplifier Model 8532 ■ Measuring ranges between 0 ... 500 N and 0 ... 20 kN ■ Measurement accuracy < 1% F.S. ■ Normalized output signal 0 ... 10 V ■ Stainless steel sensor ■ Compact design ■ Customer-specific versions possible from 20 pieces up Application This force measurement chain was developed for applications where a low cost solution is more important than achieving high levels of accuracy. The sensors strain gauge technology allows the measurement of static and dynamic forces. The load cell is also designed for applications that provide only little space due to its compact design. These properties, together with the sensors dust protection, make the measuring chain suitable for a wide range of applications, such as ► Manufacture of customized machinery ► Motor vehicle engineering Description The body of the sensor is a flat, cylindrical disk, into which a domed force application knob is integrated. It is important that the force is applied axially to the center of the sensor. The domed form, however, minimizes the effect of a force that is not exactly axial. A full-bridge strain gauge is used as the measuring element inside the sensor, by means of which the force to be measured is converted into a proportional electrical voltage. The in-line amplifier increases this voltage from 0 up to 10 V. The surface against which the sensor rests is important for the quality of the measurement. It should be ground. It must be sufficiently hard and thick and not deform under load. Technical changes reserved.
