Miniature Flange Load Cell Tension Compression Flange Mounted load cell

Miniature Flange Load Cell FFG is made of stainless steel utilizing strain gauge technology to deliver maximum 0.1% non-linearity of rated output.Miniature force sensor FFG offers 0-20N / 0-50N / 0-100N / 0-200N / 0-500N / 0-1kN / 0-2kN six rated capacities to choose from, model FFG can be used for both tension and compression force measurement. Stainless steel construction, flange design, compact size, bidirectional force measurement, high accuracy, Miniature Load Cell FFG offers a perfect mixture for applications such as wire tension control, force distribution analysis, automated control, cylinder thrust measurement, assembly force monitoring, spring testing, ultrasonic welding clamp force control, hand press force verification,and so on. In addition to the standard specifications, Forsentek is also capable of and willing to provide custom design service to meet requirements of different applications.

Specifications

A Force Sensor is a transducer that converts mechanical load into mV signal proportional to the applied force.The acting force causes deformation of the measuring element,the bonded strain gage deforms accordingly which will cause the resistance change of the wheatstone bridge,under constant power supply, the output signal between Sig+ and Sig- will change proportionally,thus the load/force can be measured by measuring the output signal from the transducer.

Load cell output: = (Power supply * Rated output) * Load / Capacity
Rated output of flange type load cell FFG is around 2.0mV/V.
Power supply of flange load cell FFG is normally within 3-15V.
Load / Capacity is within 0-1.
So the output range of flange mounted load cell FFG is normally within 0-30mV(-30mV...+30mV for tension and compression force measurement).
Example one: Flange Load Cell FFG-500N with 2.0mV/V sensitivity powered by 5V DC,the output range is -10mV...+10mV(Tension and compression).
Example two: Tension Compression Load Cell FFG-200N with 2.0mV/V sensitivity powered by 10V DC,the output range is -20mV...+20mV(Tension and compression).

A signal conditioner can be used with the load cell to deliver -5~5V, 0-10V or 4-20mA output.

Example: FFG-500N working with -5-5V amplifier,the Force-Voltage relationship will be 0-500N compression load VS 0-5V output, 0-500N tension load VS 0-(-5V) output,when you get 3V output,it means the current load is 300N compression force,when you get -2V output,it means the current load is 200N tension force,and so on.
