DATA SHEET FMS Tension Control / Force Sensors • For a wide range of applications Nominal forces from 100 to 8'000 N (22 to 1'760 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% RMGZ800A-Series The force sensors of the RMGZ800-Series are used for the tension measurement in filamentary material. A large variety of standard pulleys can be mounted on the rotating flange. The installation of the force sensor to the machine frame is realized by means of a bore with keyway. The force sensors of the RMGZ800-Series can be used in static applications as well as for measurements in rotating applications (planetary or tubular stranders, bunchers, twisters, etc.). Standard pulleys are not supplied by FMS. Functional description The RMGZ800-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 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 material tension.
