Tension Compression Force Sensor ZAD

Tension Compression Force Sensor ZAD

Tension Compression Force Sensor ZAD

Product catalog summary
Overview: The ZAD tension force sensors are designed for direct measurement of forces in cables, wires, ropes, or tapes. They are ideal for installation in machines that already use deflection or guide rollers, such as cable making machines, stranding machines, foil capacitor manufacturing, and label printing machinery. The sensors can also function as compression load cells when used with a force transmission screw instead of a roll.
Design and Functionality: The ZAD sensor operates on the double beam principle, ensuring high precision even with off-center loads. Strain gauges on the cantilever beam's active surfaces measure the forces, with signals processed by a strain gauge amplifier. Mechanical stops provide overload protection.
Special Features:
  • Easy assembly and minimal space requirement
  • Overload protection with mechanical stops
  • Measuring range from 10 to 500 N
Scope of Supply: The sensor comes with a 5 m PVC cable, axial output with cable connection, and two fastening nuts (M25x1.5).
Variants and Options:
  • N2: Straight plug connection, M12, molded
  • S2: Right-angled plug connection, M12, molded
  • F: Option for use in explosive areas, includes J-Box
Technical Data:
  • Nominal force (measuring range): 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 N
  • Overload protection: 1000%, max. 2000 N
  • Max. operating force: 160%
  • Max. lateral force: 100%
  • Nominal rating: 1 mV/V
  • Combined error: 0.5%
  • Nominal ambient temperature: +10 to +60°C (+50 to +140°F)
  • Operating temperature: -10 to +70°C (+14 to +158°F)
  • Nominal resistance of strain gauge bridge: 350 Ω
  • Bridge supply voltage: 10 V DC
  • Enclosure protection: IP54
Installation Note: When assembling axes adapters, pulleys, or similar devices, ensure no torque acts on the inner sensor part. Assembly should be completed before installation into a machine, using a wrench for countering. Pay attention to the red dot indicating the measuring direction.

Tension Compression Force Sensor ZAD-1

Force Sensor ZAD Scope of Supply Force sensor with 5 m cable (PVC), axial output with cable connection T: cable gland, straight and two fastening nuts M25x1.5 Variants N2: Plug connection, straight, M12, moulded S2: Plug connection, right-angled, M12, moulded Additional Options F: For use in explosive areas, incl. J-Box Special features • Easy assembly and small space requirement • Overload protection utilizing mechanical stops • Measuring range from 10 to 500 N Tension force sensors of the type ZAD were specifically developed for direct measurement of forces acting in cables, wires, ropes, or tapes. They can best be installed in places where the design of the machine already requires the use of deflection rollers or guide rollers. This is e. g. the case in situations such as - cable making machines - stranding machines - foil capacitor manufacturing - label printing machinery etc. Ordering example ZAD500-S2 Type Nominal force Variants/ Options When using an application of force transmission screw instead of a roll the tension sensor ZAD may be used as a compression load cell. The axial cable entry allows in most cases a simple installation on the machine. Mechanical stops limit the measurement path and serve as overload protection. The sensor is designed according to the double beam principle. This results in high precision measurement even in off center load situations. Strain gauges applied to the active surfaces of the cantilever beam measure the acting forces. The strain gauge bridge is supplied with stabilized DC voltage from a strain gauge amplifier of the HAEHNE program for further processing of the measuring signals.
