1 Gene al info mation
Read the operating instructions and the product-specific documents carefully before
commissioning the sensor.
Make sure that the sensor is fully suitable for the applications in question.
Improper use or any use other than intended may result in a malfunction of the sensor or
undesirable effects in your application. For this reason, installation, electrical connection,
commissioning and maintenance of the sensor may only be carried out by trained personnel
authorized by the plant operator.
We also expressly point out that any liability is excluded if instructions in this documentation
are disregarded.
Only the German version of this operating manual represents the original document.
1.1 Safety instructions – Explanation of symbols:
WARNING! This symbol indicates dangers that can lead to personal injury and
property damage!

.1 Structure and functionality
The BROSA type 0 10 shear force transducer is used to measure the force in single-shear
connections in or on machines and equipment of all kinds. Figure 1 shows the typical layout:
Figure 1: Shear force transducer
The shear force transducer consists of a cylindrical or cuboid measuring body(1), which
holds the load to be measured and has features for securing it torsionally and axially (1a), as
well as a connection support ( ), which is permanently connected to the measuring body and
on which - if not placed directly on the measuring body - the necessary elements for the
electrical connection (connector or cable) are attached and which - if not placed in the
measuring body - contains the measuring electronics. The constriction (1b) in the measuring
body for technical measurement reasons can be provided with a filling depending on the
application or optionally on request. Optionally, the measuring body can contain elements to
lubricate the bearing (1c). The measuring body and, if applicable, the connection support are
made of stainless steel.

Figure shows the typical installation conditions:
Figure : Installation conditions
The shear force transducer (1) is connected to the surrounding structure ( ) directly or by
fasteners. Force F transmitted by the connection is transmitted to the measuring electronics
through analysis of the resulting deformation of the measuring body and output as an electric
signal.
Versions with two measuring systems and/or measuring directions, either with output signals
on separate connectors/cables or combined in one connector/cable, are optionally available.
More information can be found in the technical data sheets, which may be obtained free of
charge from BROSA.

. Information on explosion protection
The type 0 10 shear force transducer can be optionally obtained in an intrinsically safe
design for use in environments with explosion hazards. This can be done with the -wire
technique using the ExDANGmicro W*** amplifier. The following specifications apply:
Amplifier
ExDANGmicro W***
Ignition protection type: Ex II G Ex ib IIC T4 Gb
Ex ib IIC T4 Gb
Certificate number: BVS 16 ATEX E 041
IECEx BVS 16.0031
Safety-related limit values:
 Maximum voltage U

Use of intrinsically safe shear force transducers in zone 0 is not allowed.
.3 Label (nameplate, indication of measuring direction)
Each BROSA shear force transducer is equipped with an indicator plate(1) containing the
respective information applicable for the given product. It is attached to one of the outer
surfaces of the measuring body or the connection support (see figure 3).

3 Advice on the safe handling of BROSA shea fo ce
t ansduce s
WARNING! Non-compliance with the following instructions can lead to sensor damage
and/or impairment of measurement results. The analysis of an erroneous measurement can
result in personal injury or material damage.
WARNING! Despite their sturdy design, BROSA shear force transducers may not be
used for any other than the intended purpose (see. Section .1). Improper use can result in
dangers to the life and limb of the user or third parties and/or impairment of the device in which
the shear force transducer is implemented or other property.
3.1 Handling
WARNING! BROSA sensors contain high-quality measurement electronics. Make sure
they are handled carefully.

- BROSA shear force transducers are delivered in transport-safe packaging. We
recommended that you remove the sensors from the package immediately prior to
installation.
- The mass of the shear force transducer should be taken into account for the selection
of handling and/or lifting devices; it is indicated on the nameplate.
- BROSA shear force transducers must be secured against falling. Do not throw sensors!
- Use as a tool (e.g. striking, slotting or lever tool) is not permitted; it can cause
damage to the sensor and thus falsify the measurement results.
3. Installation and commissioning
3. .1 General information
We recommended taking the following actions in the given order using the “four-eye
principle”.
a) Inspecting the sensor - measuring point assignment: It must be ensured that the
sensor to be installed is designed for use at the intended measuring point. For this
purpose, check information on the nameplate, in particular the item or the
identification number and the measuring range, against the data of the measuring
point.
WARNING! A sensor not designed for the particular measuring point must not be
installed.
b) Inspection of the sensor for intactness and function: It must be ensured that the
sensor to be incorporated is free of damage of any kind.
WARNING! A damaged sensor must not be installed!
c) Installation of the sensor at the measurement position: The shear force transducer
should be connected to the surrounding structure directly or with the help of the
intended fasteners.
WARNING! The shear force transducer must not be aligned using impact tools!
