DATA SHEET FMS Tension Control / Force Sensors FA-Series Ultra-flat, stainless steel force sensor for use with dead shaft rolls • 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 FA-Series The force sensors of the FA-Series feature an extremely slim design. The dead shaft adapter allows for a quick exchange for the roll and the bearings. The installation on the machine is simply realized with two shoulder bolts. Adapter diameters are available in various dimension, in metric as well as in imperial sizes. Functional description The FA-Series force measuring sensor combines the bracket for the dead shaft idler roll 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.
