DATA SHEET FMS Tension Control / Force Sensors F-Series Ultra-flat, stainless steel force measuring bearing • For machines with limited installation room Extremely flat design • Highest precision Measuring range 30:1 Accuracy class ±0.5% • For small to medium web tension Nominal forces from 50 to 500 N (11 to 112 lbf.) • Robust and durable Measuring body from stainless steel F-Series The force measuring bearings of the F-Series feature an extremely slim design. They are designed for the measurement of tension on continuous material processing lines where live shaft idler rolls are utilized. The installation on the machine is simply realized with two shoulder bolts. Functional description The F-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.
