Amplifier increases press-fit assembly accuracy
A measurement amplifier simplifies two-channel manufacturing and testing processes, such as press-fit monitoring, to ensure greater fitting accuracy.
Version A load cells are fitted with a threaded bore for fastening the load introduction pieces.
Version B has a through hole with counter bore into which the load introduction piece is inserted.
The correct choice of load introduction piece should be used with the appropriate design and HBM recommends the use of its components, such as a pendleswivel foot-for platforms and vessels, elastomer bearing-to absorb disturbing vibrations or tank weigh module to ensure accurate weighing.
The improved HLC series is available with nominal loads of 220kg, 550kg, 1.1t, 1.76t, 2t, 2.2t and 4.4t.
The load cells are hermetically sealed to IP68 and made from stainless steel, ideal for use in harsh environments and outdoor installation.
They conform with EMC requirements to EN45501 and comply with OIML R60 regulations up to 3000 divisions.
As an option the HLC series is available in an EEx ib IIC T4 explosion proof version.
HLC load cells are designed for industrial applications such as vessel and silo weighing, platform scales and weighing systems for palette lift trucks. Request a free brochure from HBM UK ...
