ALF225 Pancake Force Sensor
Ultra low profile axial loadcell for use in force measurements in compression
Key features
- High load ultra low profile loadcell
- Full load range: 50 - 100kN
- Non-lin./hysteresis:0.5/0.5% RL
- Dimensions (mm): Ø100 x 22
About the ALF225 Pancake Force Sensor
The ultra slim design provides for ease of installation beneath heavy machinery mounts, hydraulic rams or interposed within series mechanical compression assemblies.
In the event of structural failure of the loadcell the resulting vertical movement of the supported load including normal deflection will not exceed 2.5mm.
We are happy to design variants of this loadcell to meet your specific requirements. Please consult our engineering department.
Geometry: Ultra low profile axial loadcell for use in force measurements in compression.
All standard ranges are manufactured in stainless steel.
Notes
1. AL = Applied load. 3. Temperature coefficients apply over the compensated range.
2. RL = Rated load. 4. The load must be applied directly through the central loading axis.
Connections
The loadcell is fitted with 2 metres of PVC insulated 4 core screened cable type 7-2-4C.
Excitation + = Red Signal + = Yellow Screen = Orange
Excitation - = Blue Signal - = Green
The screen is not connected to the loadcell body.
