Force measurement bolt

Third Quarter 2004 Other technologies

A new force measurement bolt was specifically developed to capture tension and compression forces in machine parts equipped with standard fork heads - typically in conjunction with pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders. This product is easy to install, and makes it especially suitable for upgrading existing equipment. Strain gauges applied to the active surfaces of the double shearing beam, measure the acting forces.

ATI Systems offer for all the sensors a corresponding range of amplifiers to condition the measuring signal and delivers the bridge voltage supply. The signals at the output terminals of the amplifier are proportional to the acting shearing force. The signals can be digitally displayed or used as actual values in closed loop controls. The measuring range is from 0,4 to 250 kN.
