Column-shaped compressive Force Sensor XCP-173
especially suitable for dynamic applications with steep force curves
The column-shaped XCP-173 Pressure Force Sensor comes with internal threads at the top and bottom. These are used for mounting or centring at the installation location. With its stable upsetting body, the Force Transducer is suitable as a compression force sensor in dynamic applications, especially for measuring rapidly occurring forces.
The XCP-173 measures precisely and quickly in the force range from 5 kg to 1000 kg. The sensor also offers excellent long-term stability. The diameter of the force transducer is 41.2 mm. The column-shaped Compressive Force sensor is particularly suitable for precisely measuring the forces that occur in manually operated and automatic presses. The steeply rising force curves in typical press applications are recorded with high accuracy by the compact upsetting body of the Sensor.
For the measuring principle of the column-shaped Force Sensors, diaphragm measuring bodies are used on which the strain gauges are applied. The strain gauge force Sensor is integrated directly into the force flow.
The force is introduced centrally and axially via the two internal threads.
Properties
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 Ssensors 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 / design
The advantages of the compression Force Sensors are the easy handling. The force acting centrically from above is measured.
The various force sensors are versatile and are used in the areas of material testing machines, hardness testers, measurement of compressive forces, press-in force control and as Load Cells.
The mounting of the strain gauge Force Sensors is uncomplicated, either via the thread or via the prefabricated holes, depending on the model.
