Load sensor is rated to 500N and protected to IP69K
ADZ Nagano has developed a novel load sensor that provides a high precision force output up to 500N and a temperature compensated range of -20 to +60degC. Available in the UK from Variohm EuroSensor, ADZ's distribution partner, the highly durable IP69K environment-rated sensor has a wide choice of analogue or digital signal output options and features a compact screw mounted design that will easily integrate into safety-critical mechanical structures.
The new sensor is based on ADZ's well-proven load cell technology with mechanical force introduced into the output signal. An accuracy of +/-2 per cent FSO at +25degC and +/-4 per cent FSO at -20 " +60degC ensures practical operation over a wide temperature range. A fully sealed design with titanium wetted parts and a substantial shock and vibration rating enables use in the harshest industrial environments.
Users can choose analogue output options of 4-20mA current loop, 0 " 10V, or ratiometric whilst digital options include CANopen, J1939, and I2C. Presently, the range options available are 0 to 200N and 0 to 500N. Applications include industrial and construction machinery, crane and hoist, weighing technology, injection moulding machines, robotics and handling, and more.
