DATA SHEET FMS Tension Control / Force Sensors CR-Series Compact force sensor with flexible installation options for pulley • Easy Installation of standard pulleys 3 sizes with shaft journal diameters of 8, 10 and 12 mm • For a wide range of applications Nominal force ratings from 50 to 1'500 N (11 to 330 lbf.) • Precise measuring results Measuring range 30:1 Accuracy class ±0.5% • No need to change a standard machine design for special applications Options include high temperature and vacuum chamber (to 10-7 hPa) construction • Robust and durable Overload protection rating of 10-times nominal force, stainless steel sensor body CR-Series The CR-Series force sensor offers compact dimensions and flexible installation options, and are designed for the measurement of tension on continuous material processing lines for filament materials. This product will accept a huge variety of different standard pulleys and therefore be applied versatilely. The product can be supplied with a Pilot or without a Pilot at the back the unit. In addition, flexible mounting options include the ability to install the unit utilizing either four fasteners from the front or a single fastener from the rear. The included dowel pin can also be incorporated between force measuring bearing and the machine frame to ensure proper unit orientation. For installations where a Pillow Block mount is required the optional bracket can be utilized. Shaft journal diameters of 8, 10 and 12 mm allow easy installation of standard pulleys. Standard pulleys are not supplied by FMS. Funktional description The CR-Series force sensor combines the bearing seat and the force sensor within the same housing, thus minimizing the required installation space. The substantial overload protection translates to eliminated/minimized calibration issues due to machine upset conditions. The design includes dual bending beams, and this serves to eliminate the load specific influence of torque. The movement of the bending beams, which is proportional to the applied force, is detected by strain gauges arranged in a full bridge circuit and then converted into an electrical signal. This simple measurement principle delivers precise results even with low material tension and small web wrap angles. The Red Point, as located on the sensor body, should be aligned with the direction of the resultant force due to web tension.
