Tension/compression force sensor BZL series

through-hole

The force sensors of the BZL series are suitable for the direct measurement of web tension forces. The sensors are used like a pillow block web tension bearing. For the measurement of tension forces any angle is possible, horizontal, vertical and a 45° graduation are available as standard. Due to the exchangeability with common types of pillow blocks they are easy to install without machine design modifications. The pillow block web tension bearing BZL consist primarily of a pillow block with a measuring inner part with an integrated bearing. The inner part component contains a double beam technology system with the well-known advantages of a good linearity and a high stiffness. The strain gauges wired as full bridge deliver a signal proportional to the force. HAEHNE offers for all its sensors a corresponding range of amplifiers to condition the measuring signal and deliver the bridge voltage supply.
