The measuring element of this load cell is a double bending beam. Strain gauges are applied to it, the resistances of which change when a force is applied. By applying a voltage to the strain gauge bridge, the change in resistance of the strain gauges is converted into an output voltage that is directly proportional to the force. The strain gauges and the entire measuring element are protected against splash water by a metal cover including sealing material.
The tension or compressive force to be measured is introduced into the sensor element through the M6 threads located on both sides of the end faces. The force is applied without any problems and is applied on the sensor axis. This prevents falsification of the measured values. Overload protection can be realised with little effort using a mechanical stopper.
- Long-lasting, versatile sensor
- Very high output signal
- Excellent value for money
- Overload stop along primary axis
Task
Equipment for tablet hardness testing must follow strict standards and specific test sequences to measure the relevant breaking forces. Reproducible testing of the breaking force (0 ... 220 N) of tablets of various diameters can be achieved thanks to clever jaws for holding the tablet under test, a precision linear drive and an S-beam load cell of optimum shape and functional design. The force is applied to the custom, easy-to-fit S-beam load cell via a horizontally operating precision linear drive and jaws in-line with the force path. Thanks to the excellent measurement accuracy and ultra-low initial response force, it is possible to detect even the smallest forces, for instance the on-touch force, or identify a range of tablets under test, allowing a single load cell to perform reliable testing. The instrumentation can indicate actual, mean or maximum values depending on the selected measurement mode.
