DATA SHEET FMS Tension Control / Force Sensors RMGZ200A-Series Compact force sensor for stranding machines with low wire tension • Precise measuring results even at high revolutions Special design for rotating applications • Quick and reliable mechanical compensation of measured centrifugal force Integrated angle adjustment mechanism • Provides for strand tensions from a few Newtons to several kilonewtons Nominal forces from 10 to 200 N (2.25 to 45 lbf.) RMGZ200A-Series Designed to meet the requirements of smaller and higher-revolution planetary and tubular type stranders, the force sensor of the RMGZ200-Series is also applicable to bunchers and twisters. The innovative dual flexion beam construction provides the foundation for accurate and reproducible measurements in difficult operating conditions. Once the load rating and housing configuration are properly specified for the application, the sensor is easily mounted to the machine with two fasteners. A single cable (power in/signal out) is connected at the sensor housing. Standard pulleys are not supplied by FMS. Functional description The RMGZ200-Series force measuring sensor combines the bearing seat of the pulley 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 material tension.
