Only the 2006/42/EC Machinery directive applies to these devices
and they are not marked with the CE sign.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The load cell device is inherently benign in terms of
electromagnetic compatibility and the EMC directive has not been
applied. The electromagnetic compatibility of the load cell device
can only be assessed in connection with the entire electrical
installation including the control. The machine builder who
installs this partly completed machinery into a machine is
responsible for compliance with the EMC directive.
All dimensions and specifications are shown in the format
millimeters [inches] unless otherwise specified.
The model CL load cell is designed to be mounted on the vertical
face of a machine side frame and to incorporate the customer’s
cantilever shaft and roll assembly. The CL load cell can be
mounted on either the inside or outside of the machine side
frame as shown in
Figure 1
. The CL load cells are compatible with
all MAGPOWR tension readouts and controls.
The load cell construction consists of a beam with a metal foil
strain gage bonded at the bending point of the beam. The spring
constant of the beam causes the beam to deflect with the applied
force. The beam deflection causes the strain in the metal below
the strain gage to vary linearly with the applied force. The strain
gage converts the induced strain into an electrical signal which is
proportional to the induced strain.
