DATA SHEET HIIS « FMS Tension Control / Force Sensors SMGZ-Series Hermetically sealed measuring block for strip tension control • Increased stiffness, robust Design IP 67, inert gas filled, chemical, oil and solvent resistant • Durability, corrosion resistant Overload capacity at 10-times nominal force, stainless steel construction • Highest reliability 2 year FMS warranty • Maximum Flexibility Nominal forces from 1 to 80 kN (225 to 17‘980 lbf.) SMGZ-Series The force sensors of the SMGZ-Series, designed for the measurement of strip tension on continous metal processing lines, are used in combiation with standard pillow blocks. This feature allows for easy maintenance or exchange of the blocks, bearings and roll. Block mounting is simple utilizing four fasteners into the bottom surface and mounting holes for the pillow block bearing are included based on your specifications. In addition, the 6 m cable allows for an electrical connection away from the harsh environment. The SMGZ-Series is available in two measuring, horizontal and vertical, and thus can be specified for use in any mounting orientation and strip wrap configuration. With the superior performance of the SMGZ-Series, accurate tension readings are obtained even with low web wrap angles and high roll weights. Functional description Standard pillow blocks are installed on the force measuring blocks of the SMGZ-Series. This design combines force sensor and bearing seat and allows for easy maintenance or exchange of the blocks, bearings and roll. The SMGZ-Series is available in two measuring versions, horizontal and vertical, and thus can be specified for use in any mounting orientation and material wrap configuration. 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 strip wrap angles. The Red Point, as located on the sensor body, should be aligned with the direction of the resultant force due to strip tension.
