Load cells – robust and precise

The DLRx load cells from Baumer are calibrated, analog force sensors. These sensors are needed to measure forces very accurately – as quality assurance as well as when controlling facilities and machines. They are built directly into the flux of force. Thus, they can measure very close to the spot where the force takes effect.

Load cells are easy and time-saving in their operation. The sensor emits the agent directly as an analog signal. Therefore, the complete system does not have to be calibrated. Higher cycle times are reached, because the sensor measures statically. In contrast to dynamically measuring sensors, this system does not have to be relieved of pressure and be tared.

The precision of the load arises from their high measuring accuracy. Thanks to the minor deformation of the measuring cell, it is also possible to construct rather stiff machines. These plants feature a high position accuracy. Due to the high overload protection, the sensor functions very reliably. Thus, the failure probability due to e.g. manual strain, especially in small ranges of force, is reduced considerably. Load cells are used primarily in injection molding machines, presses, machine tools or test stands.
