DATA SHEET FMS Tension Control / Force Sensors RMGZ300A-Series Compact force sensor for stranding machines with medium wire tension • For applications with high revolutions Compensation of centrifugal and coriolis forces • For a wide range of applications Nominal forces from 20 to 1'000 N (4.5 to 225 lbf.) • Robust and durable Overload protection up to 10-times nominal force • Precise performance even at low tension values Measuring range 30:1 Accuracy class ±0.5% RMGZ300A-Series Designed to meet the requirements of planetary and tubular stranders, a force sensor of the RMGZ300-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 RMGZ300-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.
