Force measuring axis MOP

Force measuring axis MOP

BROSA force measuring pins with mechanical stop ( Mechanical O verload  P rotation) are made of high-quality stainless steel and withstand the highest loads. Thanks to a special design, very high overload shocks can be absorbed effectively, both in the measuring direction and against the measuring direction, without damaging the sensor. Compared to the normal force measuring pin, the ratio between nominal and limit load has been increased by a factor of 3. These properties were specially developed for handling. Due to the simple integration of the force measuring pins into the flow of forces, a large number of other fields of application are also conceivable. Taking into account the exact installation situation, from the design to the calibration of the sensors, ensures high measuring accuracy in the long term.

There are a wide variety of applications in which our force measuring pin MOP is used:

• handling machines
• Dynamically highly stressed measuring points

In addition to a customer-specific design, our force measuring pins offer other advantages:

• Heavy duty design / robust
• Space-neutral compared to other systems

As standard, our MOP force measuring pins have other features in addition to a customer-specific design:

• Integrated amplifier (4-20mA, CANopen, optionally CANopen Safety, PROFINET, optionally PROFINET PROFIsafe)
• Durable design
• Temperature compensated from -40...+80°C 
• High EMC resistance of 200V/m 
• No zero point drift, ie no recalibration required 
• Constant accuracy over the entire temperature range
• High mechanical overload protection
• Design for tensile and / or compressive forces
• Limiting load 150% and breaking load 300% of the nominal load
• Safety classification PL c / SIL 1
• Protection class IP67 according to DIN EN 60529
• Calibration in simulated installation situation including test report
• Heavy duty design / robust
• Space-neutral compared to other systems

Optionally, our sensors also offer the following advantages:

• Increased limit and breaking load, e.g. 500 / 700%
• High overload capacity up to 700%
• Temperature compensated up to +160°C
• Immune to interference from magnetic fields up to 300 mT
• Redundant execution
• Performance level d (e) according to ISO 13849
• SIL 2 (SIL3) according to IEC 61508
• Protection class IP69
• External Amplifiers
• Customized connectors (cables and connectors)
