Strain Transducer X-113-8

especially suitable for cyclic applications

For accurate measurements of recurrent, rapid force cycles

Cyclic applications describe recurring, rapid cycles of force. In cyclic applications it is important that the zero point is tared at regular intervals to prevent drifting of the measurement signal.

The Strain Sensors can be used for the following applications:

  • Force measurement via strains in the frame of machines enable efficient control of relevant process parameters (e.g. presses, automatic assembly machines, welding machines, detection of tool breakage and wear, clamping devices, feed force)
  • Limit value monitoring to avoid overloads
  • Monitoring and documentation of process forces for increased process reliability

X-Sensors Strain Transducers reliably measure even small strains on the surface of flat structures. Despite the simple screw-on mounting, the measured values are comparable to glued-on strain gauges, while avoiding their disadvantages. Thanks to the integrated, extremely low-noise and highly stable signal amplifier, the Sensors have an enormous dynamic range.

Properties

  • Analog signal path with fast response time
  • For cyclic applications with external reset or tare control input for automatic zero point adjustment, suitable for periodic zero point adjustment processes
  • Monitoring and documentation of process forces for increased process reliability
  • Protected mounting away from moving parts
  • Integrated measuring amplifier, optionally with ± 10 V or 4-20 mA / 0-20 mA as robust output signal

Measurement principle

How it works

The X-113-8 surface Strain Sensor monitors the strain between its two mounting screws and mechanically amplifies it. In this way, the strain is concentrated in the measuring surface and can thus be measured with a resistive strain gauge bridge. The integrated Amplifier provides signal conditioning and delivers a linear, robust output signal. The solid steel housing and the robust design (IP64) guarantee trouble-free operation even under difficult environmental conditions.

Zero point tare

The zero point adjustment of these Strain Sensors is done by a digital zero point adjustment. The zero adjustment is not stored permanently, but is lost after a power failure. It provides a non-volatile, stable zero point independent of cycle times. Therefore, it is suitable for all dynamic applications and can be used in all applications that require a periodic zero point reset triggered by a digital input. Zero adjustment is triggered by an external reset, or tare control input.

The mechanism is available with “active low” and “active high” logic.
