ZM Series

Product catalog summary
Overview: The ZM Series Force Transducers by Magtrol are designed for measuring static and dynamic pressure forces. They are compact, cost-effective, and offer high accuracy and reliability. Constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy or stainless steel, they are suitable for various applications, including harsh environments.
Features: The transducers have a nominal force range of 0.1 to 100 kN, are damage-resistant, and come with protection classes IP 65 or IP 67. They can be equipped with a built-in amplifier for output signals of 0-10 V DC or 4-20 mA.
Technical Specifications: The ZM Series offers different accuracy classes (0.5, 0.2, 0.1) with mechanical characteristics such as a maximum permissible force of 150% and a breaking overload of over 300%. The electrical characteristics include a nominal sensitivity of 1 mV/V ±0.5%, with a maximum supply voltage of 10 V DC.
System Configuration: The system includes the ZM Series Force Transducer, LMU Series Load Monitoring Unit, and AN Series Signal Conditioner & Display. The transducers are compatible with programmable logic controllers.
Dimensions: The datasheet provides detailed dimensions for various models, with weights ranging from 0.25 kg to 3.2 kg.
System Options and Accessories: Accessories include the AM Pendulum Support to prevent side load introduction and deformation, and the LMU Series Load Monitoring Unit for signal conditioning. The AN Series Load Monitor Display processes and displays signals from various transducers.
Ordering Information: The datasheet provides a clear ordering format for both ZM and ZM-S Force Transducers, specifying nominal force and accuracy class.

ZM Series-1

FORCE TRANSDUCERS FEATURES   ▪ Nominal Force: 0.1 ... 100 kN ▪ Small size; ideal for space-saving applications ▪ Cost effective, high accuracy and long service reliability ▪ Damage-resistant (no mechanically sensitive parts) ▪ Construction with high-strength aluminum alloy or stainless steel ▪ Depending on the model, chemical resistant (suitable for moist environments and chemical plants) ▪ Protection Class: IP 65 or IP 67 ▪ Special designs available upon request DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION Magtrol's ZM Series Force Transducers are designed to measure static and dynamic pressure forces. They are characterized by their small dimensions. Manufactured in stainless steel or high-resistance aluminum, these transducers can be used in a wide variety of applications. In particular, the stainless steel versions with a high degree of protection can be used everywhere without restriction, even in harsh environments. The sensor element consists of a diaphragm body equipped with metal foil strain gauges, which forms a hermetically sealed chamber filled with dry nitrogen. In standard mounting, the transducers are fixed with screws on a flat surface. The force is introduced vertically (without transverse force) via the universal ball joint, either directly or via a metal adapter interface. All Magtrol ZM Series transducers are supplied with a 1.5 m long connection cable with loose ends. Optionally, they can be supplied with a built-in amplifier (ZM‑E). Then, an Output Signals of 0 ... 10 V DC or 4 ... 20 mA can be selected.

ZM Series-5

ZM SERIES SYSTEM OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES PENDULUM SUPPORT □L Lorem ipsum As mechanical accessory, the AM Pendulum Support avoids side load introduction and deformation due to high surface pressure. These support are only compatible with ZM Series transducers. □ L Each unit contains DIP-switches and jumpers for greater flexibility and complete adaptability. User-defined alarm limits can be configured into the unit, which when combined with our sensors, provides a safe and rugged measurement system that continuously monitors for short-circuits and interrupted signal lines. Magtrol LMUs are specially...
