Load Pin With Thin-Film Sensor

Tecsis GmbH – India Liaison Office offers a load pin with thin-film sensor for OEM applications, with an accuracy of 0.5%. The basic parameters are: output signals – 4-20 mA, 2-wire; 0-10 V DC, 3-wire; and switch – p-switching or n-switching CANopen-Fieldbus. In addition to the company’s force transducer program with bonded foils, a new force transducer with a welded thin film sensor was developed. The usage of standardised sensors, which are welded into the measuring element, makes an automated manufacturing possible. Combined with an accuracy of 0.2%, the force transducers are also of interest for OEM applications due to the attractive price-performance ratio. Thin film sensors, produced by very modern manufacturing technology, have all advantages of the conventional bonded foil strain gauges, but without having their substantial disadvantages (temperature drifts of the glue and creeping). Load pins are suited to mounting in deviation rolls, fork heads and rolling bearings. Due to their structural shape load pins fit into the constructions directly replacing on existing bolt. Different output signals are available: analogue standard output signals (4-20 mA, 0-10 V), programmable switch or CANopen-Fieldbus. Load pins fulfil the rS-yulations of EMC according to directive EN 61326. Measuring ranges: 5 kN up to 200 kN. Applications: shear bolt in deviation rolls and mountings on rolling bearings; industrial weighing; automation of the manufacturing process; measuring of tensions in cables; and machine and plant construction.
