DATA SHEET FMS Tension Control / Force Sensors LMGZD-Series Highly precise, stainless steel force measuring bearing with a measuring range > 500:1 • Extremely wide measuring range with highest resolution Measuring range 500:1 Accuracy class ±0.3% • For a wide range of applications 3 sizes with nominal force from 33 to 6'000 N (7.5 to 1'350 lbf.) • Robust and durable Overload protection up to 10-times nominal force, full stainless steel LMGZD-Series The force measuring bearings of the LMGZD-Series, designed for the measurement of tension on continuous material processing lines where live shaft idler rolls are utilized. The measuring range of 500:1 allows reproducible, highly precise measurements on widely varying web widths and materials. The mechanical overload protection of up to 10-times the nominal foce provides unsurpassed robustness. With the superior performance of the LMGZD-Series, accurate tension readings are obtained even with low web wrap angles and high roll weights. For installations where a Pillow Block mount is required the optional bracket can be utilized. Functional description The LMGZD-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 movement of the bending beam, 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.
