8552 PRESS LOAD CELL FOR HAND AND AUTOMATIC OPERATED PRESSES

This force measurement chain was developed for applications where a low cost solution is more important than achieving high levels of accuracy. The sensors strain gauge technology allows the measurement of static and dynamic forces. The load cell is also designed for applications that provide only little space due to its compact design. These properties, together with the sensors dust protection, make the measuring chain suitable for a wide range of applications, such as Industrial manufacture Manufacture of customized machinery Geological investigations Motor vehicle engineering Commercial agriculture Bridge building The body of the sensor is a flat, cylindrical disk, into which a domed force application knob is integrated. It is important that the force is applied axially to the center of the sensor. The domed form, however, minimizes the effect of a force that is not exactly axial.

The tension & compression load cells from the 8523 series are designed for a wide range of uses. The sensors feature many benefits, including three point-contact mounts for tilt-free installation. Thanks to this feature, excellent measurement results can be achieved even with a sub-optimum mounting surface. The force to be measured is applied to the central threaded hole in the tension or compression direction. For measuring purely compressive loads, using load buttons from our accessories range saves the need for complex sensor-integration mechanisms. Tensile loads in rods or chains can also be detected with ease using the optional pull plate. Inside the sensor is an elastic membrane, on which are applied strain gages connected in a full Wheatstone bridge. FEATURES Measuring ranges from 0 ... 20 N to 0 ... 5 kN Tilt-free installation thanks to point-contact mounts Excellent price/performance ratio Easy mounting burster TEDS optionally available

The 8524 precision tension & compression load cell is a versatile sensor for highly accurate load measurements in diverse applications. Optimum measurement quality is achieved with the load cell mounted on a flat, hard and polished contact surface. This requirement does not apply to small measurement ranges of up to 0 ... 2 kN because three knife-edge bearings ensure that the sensor is seated securely. Our brochure „Load Cells“ explains how you can design parasitic loads out of your mechanical system. Through-holes in the outer flange are used for fastening the 8524 sensor to the system structure. The load is applied via the central blind threaded hole or optionally via a load button. Alternatively, a pull plate and even rod end bearings, if desired, can be attached to the sensor for equally easy measurement of purely tensile loads, for instance in Bowden cables or chains. The 8524 sensor is designed to measure static, quasi-static and dynamic compressive and/or tensile loads.

The tension and compression load cell model 8435 enables universal and fast installation, requires hardly any installation space and upgrades with technical data that are readily achieved by larger sensors. Due to its excellent price-performance ratio with regard to its mechanical and electrical data, the force sensor finds its place in products that are also manufactured in larger quantities and calculated with a small budget. This model of load cell uses proven strain gage technology to perform measurements. Strain gages are applied to the sensitive element and connected to form a full bridge. FEATURES Measuring ranges from 0 ... 200 N up to 0 ... 5000 N Small dimensions Inexpensive execution Stable anti-kink protection Made of high quality stainless steel Connecting cable suitable for drag chains burster TEDS optionally available
