Measuring the pressing forces

• Miniature design
• Rigid construction
• Robust
• Can also tolerate impact loads

task

The requirement is to measure the pressing forces of rollers, for instance the forces needed to deform sheet metal in steelworks. The load cell must be fitted in the roller bearing blocks such that the sensor can detect the forces in the direction of action of the rollers. This requires a suitable guide. The load cell must be able to absorb any transient load peaks such as can inevitably occur when starting up the machine or with inhomogeneous material.
