Customized Solution The quality of the crimped connection is checked by applying a torsional force. In the automotive area for testing the press connection of components for truck and car engines: e.g. fuel injector.

In particular applications, it can be necessary to hold high axial forces and torque at the same time. For pneumatic operation, our Locking Unit series KFPD meets this demand. Depending in the size, forces / torques of 12 kN / 120 Nm or 30 kN / 500 Nm can be held securely. The “normal” SITEMA Locking Units KFH are already able to hold smaller torque. Example: 280 Nm with, at the same time, an axial holding force of 100 kN on rod diameter 56. In case higher torque needs to be held, SITEMA’s special design series KFHD can help. With this design, it is possible to hold torque with a factor of 10 higher compared to the standard KFH unit. Example: 2800 Nm with, at the same time, an axial holding force of 100 kN on rod diameter 56. Whether the operation is pneumatic or hydraulic, the application is limited to static holding. The KFPD and KFHD can prevent a rotation from starting, but are not suitable to brake rotating masses.

The force to be measured must be introduced axially and perpendicularly to the entire surface of the inner and outer bands of the sensor in the opposite direction. Conversion of the acting force into an electrical output signal is performed by strain gages connected together in a full bridge circuit. To achieve optimal accuracy, the base of the sensor should rest on a smooth level surface, hardened to at least ≥ 58 HRC with sufficient dimensions. The base cover welded to the surface has a stabilizing effect on the sensor element. Lateral forces must be avoided anyway as they distort the measured results. Tension and bending relief for the sensor cable is to be carried out on the machine side. FEATURES: — Measuring ranges from 0 ... 100 N to 0 ... 200 kN — Centric throughout hole — Flat disc design — Made of stainless steel — Completely welded sensor body — Nominal characteristic value standardization possible — burster TEDS optionally available

The newly developed sensor PROFIBUS module model 9221 is predestined for the integration of various analog sensor output signals into complex, net worked and peripheral automation structures.

The force measuring chain is an universal reference measuring chain for the calibration of press-fit force measuring equipment. It finds applications in the quality assurance, commissioning and equipment monitoring fields. A DAkks calibration certificate is included so that the force measuring chain can be traced back. The calibration is traceable through accreditation at the German Accreditation Body. The calibration certificate records the displayed values for mounting positions at 0°, 120° and 240°. During calibration in field, the reference load cell is inserted in line with the flux of the press-fit measuring equipment. The force application is of central significance here for the quality of the measurement. Special force application parts are required, so that the line of action of the force agrees as exactly as possible with the geometrical axis of the load cell that is to be measured (central loading).

The force measuring chain has been developed for applications where the requirements for precision are not the primary focus, but rather where an economical purchase price and simple functionality are the key criteria. The sensor‘s strain gauge technology allows both static and dynamically changing forces to be measured. The large display means that the force acting on the sensor can be read easily. The four integrated threaded holes allow the sensor to be integrated quickly and easily into existing production and assembly equipment. Typical applications include: —Testing the strength of welded joints —Sports medicine —Monitoring the clamping force of hose connections The body of the sensor is a flat, cylindrical disk, into which a domed force application knob is integrated. It is important that the force is applied axially to the center of the sensor.

Pneumatic Rod Clamping, Compact Holding force 700 N Holding torque 7 Nm Compact and safe: when space becomes restricted, the compact LOCKED PRK clamping elements come into their own. As pneumatic rod clamping with low heights of 28 to 34 mm, they provide clamping forces of up to 5,000 N. Clamping is carried out by a diaphragm spring-plate system and is released when compressed air is applied. Clamping elements from the LOCKED PRK product family absorb the forces on rods with diameters between 20 and 40 mm both axially and rotationally. The function makes them suitable for use as static clamping without pressure, because the failure or drop of pneumatic pressure triggers immediate clamping. High clamping forces with low system costs compared with hydraulic and electric solutions make these clamping elements particularly interesting.
