Load cells
Force sensors for high loads
The electronics specialist Megatron has added the load cells of the KMC series to its product range. The so-called "pancakes" are suitable for use in presses, testing machines, truck scales and large container and hopper scales.
The force sensors in the KMC series can absorb forces of up to 500 kilonewtons and have a non-linearity of less than 0.02 percent. The user can find the exact characteristic values for the installation in the measurement protocol. All sensors have a strain gauge full bridge (Wheatstone) and offer high measuring sensitivity. Depending on the sensor type, the force is applied via a metric thread or a through-hole with/without groove. The version with groove is particularly suitable for applications where a form-fit installation of the sensor is required. The electrical connection is made via a permanently integrated cable.
Despite their high measuring range, the deformation bodies are compact in size and have a low overall height. They meet the requirements of protection class IP66, have a stainless steel measuring body and can be used safely in a nominal temperature range of up to minus 20 to plus 70 degrees Celsius.
On request, Megatron can customize the force sensors for the respective application, even for small quantities. In addition to the production of special variants with individual force ranges, the services also include the modification of cables with connectors and comprehensive advice. as
