BROSA force measuring sleeves measure radial forces on one axis with a constant or variable direction of force application. BROSA force measuring sleeves can be used as an alternative, even for axles that were previously unsuitable for force measurements due to their dimensions or deflection. In addition, several force measuring sleeves can be combined on one axis. Optionally, BROSA force measuring sleeves can be equipped with an integrated angle sensor that records the inclination of the sensor. The resultant force or, in the angle version, even the line load can be output as an output signal.There are a wide variety of applications in which our force measuring sleeve is used. Here are just a few examples:

Our force measuring sleeves measure the occurring forces in

• roller heads
• boom tips
• storage locations

In addition to a customer-specific design, our force measuring sleeves have other features as standard:

• 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
• 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 IP66 / IP67 according to DIN EN 60529
• Calibration in simulated installation situation including test report

Optionally, our sensors also offer the following advantages:

• Increased limit and breaking load, e.g. 300 / 500%
• With angle measurement
• Temperature compensated up to +160°C (not with integrated angle measurement)
• 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
• IECEx certification
• Protection class IP69
• External amplifier (not with integrated angle measurement)
• Customized connectors (cables and connectors)
