2 Description of the BROSA rod end load cell
.1 Structure and functionality
BROSA type 0110 rod end load cells transmit and measure the tensile/compressive force
between two plane-parallel surfaces, the distance between which is mechanically bridged by
the rod end load cell.
Figure 1: Structure of a rod end load cell
The rod end load cell consists of a cylindrical measuring body that absorbs the load (1), the
ends of which (1a) are used for direct connection with the surrounding construction or for
receiving connecting means. As a standard, these elements are designed as inside or outside
threads which can for example be used for receiving fork or articulated heads with comparable
connection means; these may be obtained from BROSA. The combination of an inner thread
on one end with an outer thread on the other head as well as special designs with application-
specific connection geometry is possible. In some cases, there is a connection support ( )
firmly connected to the measuring body, on which - if not placed directly on the measuring
body - the necessary elements for the electrical connection (plug or cable, 3) are attached and
which - if not placed in the measuring body - contains the measurement electronics. The
measuring body and connection support, if applicable, are made of stainless steel.
