​Washer Type Load Cells

​​Force Washer Cell - FW

FEATURES

Washer type load cells with central hole are used for measuring force applied in their axial direction.

These washers find application for the indication and for the automatic control and feedback of axial thrusts static and dynamic on punching machines, on machine tools, on presses, on power hammers installed directly or, better, through a thrust spherical plane bearing.

MAIN CONSTRUCTIVE PECULIARITIES:

  • Low profile, compactness, high strength, easiness of installation.
  • Central hole diameter: large, for standard metric shafts and screws.
  • Internal sensors and electrical circuits: entirely stuffed by water-repellent and high insulating filler.

WIRING INFORMATION

CALCULATION OF RESULTANT APPLIED TO CELL

F = Resultant T = Tension in laminate P = Roll weight 

The red point on the bearing support identifies the axis of maximum cell sensitivity and therefore the direction that F has to take with respect to the transducer.

This configuration gives the best performance because it does not consider roll weight.
It is advised for low tension, to prevent roll weight from representing an excessive fraction of the resultant, with consequent reduction of the usable field.
This is the only configuration in which, in the absence of tension T, there is a zero signal of approximately 0 mV/V.
In this configuration, roll weight is completely in the direction of maximum sensitivity of the cell that generates a signal in mV/V positive.
This signal should be considered as tare: it will be considered during calibration of the instrument connected to the cell.
