2. Design and function
2. Design and function
The compression force transducer is designed for measuring static and dynamic
compression forces.The compression force transducer consists of a measuring spring
on which strain gauges are applied.The measuring spring is made of corrosion-resistant
stainless steel and is elastically deformed by a tension/compression force introduced
in the force direction.The resulting mechanical tensions are measured by the strain
gauges and output as an electrical output signal.
The strain gauges are arranged so that two of them are tensioned and the other two are
compressed when a force is applied to the transducer.
The transducer circuit includes correction and compensation resistors to eliminate
unwanted effects on the zero signal and characteristic value.

Force transducer for measuring compression forces, for example in presses.The
product is designed for use both outdoors and inside buildings.
Compression force transducers can measure forces in one direction. The measured
force is output as an electrical signal. These devices are designed for operation in
industrial environment. In other environments, e.g. residential or commercial, they may
interfere with other equipment. In this case, the operator may be required to implement
appropriate measures.
Only use the compression force transducers in applications that are within the technical
performance limits (e.g. max. ambient temperature, material compatibility, etc.). For
performance limits, see chapter 9 “Technical data”.
The compression force transducers are not approved for use in explosive areas or for
safety applications.

3. Safety
The compression force transducers are designed exclusively for the intended use which
is described here and may only be used accordingly.
Handle electronic precision measuring instruments with the required care (protect from
moisture, impacts, strong magnetic elds, static electricity and extreme temperatures,
do not insert any objects into the instrument or its openings). Plugs and sockets must be
protected from contamination.
This instrument is intended for connection to an external PELV circuit that meets the
requirements of UL/IEC/EN 61010-1 Section 9.4 (limited-energy circuit).The manufactu-
rer shall not be liable for claims of any type based on operation contrary to the intended
use.The compression force transducers are designed for indoor and outdoor use, at
altitudes of to 2,500 m [8,202 feet] above sea level.The pollution degree in accordance
with UL certication is Degree 4: “Electrical equipment for outdoor use”.to the intended
use.

conditions at the place of use, other products or the connection to other products.
The requisite personal protective equipment must be provided by the operating
company.The operator is in no way relieved of his obligations under labour law for the
safety and the protection of workers’ health.
The design of the personal protective equipment must take into account all operating
parameters of the place of use.

4. Transport, packaging and storage
4. Transport, packaging and storage
4.1 Transport
Check the compression force transducer for any damage that may have been caused by
transport. Obvious damage must be reported immediately.
CAUTION!
Damage through improper transport
With improper transport, a high level of damage to property can occur.
▶
When unloading packed goods upon delivery as well as during internal
transport, proceed carefully and observe the symbols on the packaging.
▶
With internal transport, observe the instructions in chapter 4.2
“Packaging and storage”.
As precision measuring instruments, transducers require careful handling during
transport and mounting. Load impacts during transport (e.g. hitting a hard surface) can
lead to permanent damage, resulting in measured errors in the subsequent measuring
operation.
4.2 Packaging and storage
Do not remove packaging until just before mounting.
Keep the packaging as it will provide optimum protection during transport (e.g. change
in installation site, sending for repair).
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
■
Storage temperature: -20 ... +80 °C [-4 … +176 °F]
■
Humidity: 35 ... 85 % relative humidity (non-condensing)
Avoid exposure to the following factors:
■
Mechanical vibration, mechanical shock (putting it down hard)
■
Dust, dirt, and other objects may not be deposited in such a way that they form a
force shunt with the measuring spring, since this will falsify the measuring signal.
