A high
price/performance ratio and robust design characterize
the compression load cells even in the high measuring
ranges.
Their small dimensions allow these load cells to be
used for measuring static and dynamic compressive
forces in restricted spaces. These load cells can be
integrated easily thanks to their standardized output
and threaded holes on bottom.
The model 8526 load cell has a sealed body, allowing
it to be used even under dirty and harsh industrial
conditions.
These sensors are used as measuring elements mainly in

device manufacture |

production lines |
| - |
measurement and control
systems |
| - |
manufacture of fixtures
and special machines |
| - |
geological applications. |

| Description |
 |
The model
8526 load cell is designed as a flat, circular disc.
4 strain gages are applied at the measuring element of
the sensor body. The measuring element inside the body
carries a strain gage full bridge which outputs a
voltage directly proportional to the measurement
variable on the application of a force.
The load application knob for receiving compressive
forces is an integral part of the sensor. The
compressive force must be applied with a part that
leans on a sensor parallel plain with reference to the
application knob. This ensures only minor influence of
smaller angle faults between the force application and
the sensor axis to the measurement signal. Basically
the measurement force must be applied centrically
without any lateral vectors of force.
A ground
bearing surface for the sensor as well as a hardness
of at least 60 HRC of the bearing surface of the force
application are precondition for an optimum in
measurement quality.
Ensure that the sensor is mounted on a planar,
smoothed and hardened surface.
The
standardized nominal value (1 mV/V) simplifies the
exchange of sensors. Furthermore the sensors can be
switched parallel for the summation of singular forces.
