The measuring force is applied to the force sensor via the plummer block. A Wheatstone full-bridge circuit, containing four foil-based strain gauges, measures the current strip tension. This measuring signal is output to an FMS measuring amplifier for further processing
UMGZ force measuring blocks are extremely durable, accurate and reliable. Tension values of down to 5 % of the nominal force can be consistently measured with a high level of accuracy. The combination of stainless steel and mechanical overload protection makes UMGZ force measuring blocks ideal sensors for all tension measuring applications.
These sensors can be used in all applications where easy access to the bearing is vital (for greasing purposes, to change the bearing or the roller frequently) and where the ambient conditions are not extreme.
