FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between tension link sensors and ordinary weighing sensors (such as shear beam type)?

The tension link sensor is designed specifically for online tensile force measurement, with a link like appearance and installation interfaces at both ends, which can be directly connected in series in the force path. It only measures axial tension and is not suitable for measuring compression force or platform weighing. Ordinary shear beam sensors are usually installed at the bottom of platforms or material tanks to measure vertical compressive loads, and are suitable for static weighing scenarios such as platform scales and material tank weighing.

Q2: What are the key points to pay attention to during installation?

Axial alignment: Ensure that the direction of force on the sensor is consistent with the axial direction, avoiding the introduction of bending moments or lateral loads.
Pin axis matching: The installation holes at both ends need to be accurately matched with the size of the matching pin axis or threaded part to avoid excessive clearance and impact.
Angle calibration: For applications that require precise measurement, it is recommended to use a level indicator during installation and calibration to ensure that the sensor is at the correct angle.
Cable protection: Shielded cables should be kept away from interference sources such as frequency converters and motors, and the shielding layer should only be grounded at the instrument end.
