Tension/compression force transducer with thin film implant In addition to our force transducer program with bonded foils, a new force transducer with a welded thin film sensor was developed. The usage of standardised sensors, which are welded into the measuring element, makes an automated manufacturing possible. Combined with a relative linearity error of 0.2%, the new tension/compression force transducers are also of interest for OEM applications due to the attractive price- performance ratio. Thin film sensors, produced by very modern manufacturing technology, have all advantages of the conventional bonded foil strain gauges, but without having their substantial disadvantages (temperature drifts of the glue and creeping). Tension/compression force transducers can be applied directly into the force flux. They are used for weight measuring or as an overload protection. In machineries they are used to monitor press capacities and clamping forces. Mounted indirectly they can be used as torque supports in order to supervise momentums. Different output signals are available: either a not amplified output signal mV/V- or amplified output signals (4...20 mA, 0...10V). These force transducers fulfil the regulations of EMC according to directive EN 61326.
