BROSA force measuring pins with mechanical overload protection are made of high-strength stainless steel and can withstand the highest loads. The integrated stop can effectively absorb very high overload shocks both in the direction of measurement and against the direction of measurement without damaging the sensor. Compared to the normal force measuring axis, the ratio between nominal and limit load has been increased by a factor of 3. These properties have been specially developed for cargo handling. However, the simple integration of the force measuring axes into the force flow also makes a wide range of other applications conceivable. The consideration of the exact installation situation from the design to the calibration of the sensors guarantees high measuring accuracy in the long term.
