Ring Force Transducer XC-170

especially suitable for individual adaptations to different machine types

For accurate measurements with specific measuring ranges

The XC-170 series Force Sensors measure the injection pressure in all-electric injection moulding machines behind the screw conveyor. The Sensor is very linear, zero point stable and has an overload resistance of 150 % of the final value. The Sensors are very temperature stable and allow maximum consistency of the shot weight. The solid steel housing and the tight design (IP 54) guarantee problem-free operation, even under difficult environmental conditions.

The Force Sensors have either a passive strain gauge full bridge output or an amplified ± 10 V or 4…20 mA output signal. The measuring range can be adapted exactly to the required injection force. The dimensions and hole pattern can also be specifically adapted to your application and to the required force range.

Properties

  • Very high linearity and zero point stability
  • High temperature stability
  • Flat, compact design
  • Suitable for high torques
  • Customisable to different machine types
  • Specific measuring ranges and dimensions available

Individually developed Sensors for your application

In order to obtain reliable measurement results, it is often unavoidable to adapt the Force Sensors and force transducers to the specific requirements in order to best meet the environment and the measurement task. Let us know your requirements for the XC-170 Force Sensor:

  • Type/Designation
  • Nominal force
  • Output signal
  • Electrical connection (cable length / connector type)
  • Outer diameter
  • Inner diameter
  • Height
  • Hole pattern

Installation and deployment

Electrical connection

The Force Sensors from X-Sensors are based on a strain gauge full bridge with strain gauges. The output signal for this Sensor is specified in mV/V. Various input modules of controllers already allow the direct connection of Force Sensors with strain gauge full bridge.

In addition, measuring Amplifiers with voltage output (0-10 V) and current output (4-20 mA) are available, which amplify the strain gauge full bridges accordingly. The measuring amplifiers are available in a robust field housing, for DIN rail mounting or in an inline housing.

Mechanical connection / construction

The ring Force Transducer is characterised by a very flat and compact design. This allows it to be used in particularly confined spaces. For mounting, the Pressure Cell has holes with which it can be easily attached.

Application areas for the ring Load Cell are high-precision monitoring of pressing operations in manufacturing processes, pressing and joining force monitoring. The strain gauge Force Sensor is particularly suitable for force measurement on spindles, e.g. spindle drives and press spindles.
