DB-DA and DB-DC – Transducers for Ball Bearing Radial Force Measurement
Product Description
Magtrol DB-DA and DB-DC transducers are designed for measuring radial forces in ball bearings. Available in several diameters and temperature ranges, these transducers incorporate strain gauge technology and provide a signal output proportional to the force to being measured.
Features
- Nominal capacity: DB-DA: 50 N, 100 N, 200 N, 350 N and 750 N DB-DC: 1200 N
- Built-in overload protection up to 10× nominal force DB-DA; 2× overload nominal force DB-DC (no mechanical protection)
- Combined error due to nonlinearity and hysteresis: < ± 0.1% (DB-50-DA < ± 0.2%)
- Hermetically sealed; IP 67 protection class
- Three temperature versions available: 60 °C, 100 °C and 160 °C
- Three bearing diameter capabilities: Ø17 mm, Ø20 mm and Ø25 mm
- Rust-resistant metallic construction
- Easy to install
