DATA SHEET FMS Tension Control / Force Sensors CZ-Series Compact force sensor with flexible installation options for rolls without shaft • Easy Installation of standard bearings 25 mm shaft journal for standard bearings • For a wide range of applications Nominal force ratings from 50 to 1'500 N (11 to 330 lbf.) • No need to change a standard machine design for special applications Options include high temperature and vacuum chamber (to 10-7 hPa) construction • Precise measuring results Measuring range 30:1 Accuracy class ±0.5% • Robust and durable Overload protection rating of 10-times nominal force, stainless steel sensor body CZ-Series The CZ-Series force sensor offers compact dimensions and flexible installation options, and are designed for the measurement of tension on continuous material processing lines where idler rolls with integrated bearings without shaft are utilized. 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. The shaft journal of 25 mm diameter accepts standard bearings. Functional description The CZ-Series force measuring 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.
