CA203 Series Force Measuring Sensor with Dead Shaft Adapter


The CA203 Series Force Measuring Sensors are designed as dead shaft sensors to allow easy roller change in continuous material processing applications. They can be easily mounted to the machine side frame with a single bolt from the back or with 4 bolts from the front (flange style) or to the top frame utilizing optional mounting brackets. The red point on the connector indicates the positive force measuring direction. The CA203 Force Measuring Sensor ensures that even with low material wrap angles and high roller weights, tension will still be measured accurately.

Functional Description
Foil type strain gauges mounted in a full Wheatstone Bridge configuration in each sensor perform the actual tension measurement. The dual flexion beam design eliminates angular deflection under load and
ensures tension measurement with the highest accuracy and reliability under the most stringent requirements. A built in mechanical hard-stop provides high overload protection and ensures that frequent calibration is not required.

Features
• 10 times overload protection
• 20:1 force measuring range
• Nominal forces from 28 - 337 lbs
• Stainless steel sensor, Aluminum Cover

Advantages
• No re-calibration required
• Accuracy class 0.5%
• Sizes available for every application
• Corrosion resistant, ultra durable
