The Clamping Force Transducer SK-01 from MAGTROL is based on strain gauge technology. It is ideal for the control of ropes, brake clamps and similar devices. It measures the clamping force, independent of the clamp, on the longitidunal axis of the transducer.
APPLICATIONS
The SK-01 is available in two different ranges. One for ropes with diameter 28...47mm and forces up to 300kN and the second for diameter 48...92 mm with forces up to 400kN. When connected to a SKG-01 Digital Amplifier, the SK-01 is ideally suited for measuring the clamping force on lifts, ski-lifts and similar applications
The capability of this device was tested by Empa (Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Testing and Research), see «Prüfbericht Nr. 169166 from 16 July 1997».
