Sensor Technology and Measurement from Austria

Load cells, force transducers, and sensor technology for industry

octogon supplies load cells, force transducers, force sensors and sensor technology from 1 N to 50 MN for industry – as standard designs from stock or as customized special solutions. This includes the appropriate measuring electronics, sensors for pressure, level, temperature, torque, and flow, as well as ISO 17025 calibration in our own laboratory. Price, data sheet, 3D data, and delivery time are available online for every item.

Force, Load and Weight

The program includes S-type cells, bending beam and shear beam load cells, double shear beam and tension load cells, platform load cells, button cells and flat designs, column and ring cells, force measuring rings, tension links and rope tension measuring cells, machine foot load cells, and multi-axis force sensors. Force measuring pins and measuring axles replace existing load pins and turn a machine into a measuring system without modification. For plant construction, there are weighing modules for safe installation, crane scales and fully assembled scales.

Pressure, Level, Temperature, Torque, Flow

For pressure, the program ranges from relative, absolute and differential pressure sensors to pressure switches and manometers. We measure level with radar, ultrasound and hydrostatically. For temperature, there are temperature sensors according to PT100 and PT1000, versions with connectors, with displays and temperature transmitters. Torque covers static reference transducers, rotating sensors with contact and contactless transmission, and transducers for screwdrivers. For flow, there are flow switches, electromagnetic, turbine, gear, paddle wheel and vortex flow meters, Coriolis and variable area meters, and devices for gases.

Measurement electronics for every signal

Every sensor has the right evaluation: weighing transmitters, weighing indicators for installation and in housings, large displays up to 100 mm digit height, strain gauge amplifiers and universal amplifiers for the laboratory. Analog with 4…20 mA or ±10 V, serial with RS485 and RS232, digital with IO-Link directly in the cell or via PROFINET, PROFIBUS-DP, Modbus/TCP, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP and CANopen. For demanding environments with ATEX and IECEx approval, explosion protection, protection class up to IP69k and variants up to SIL 3 and PL e.

From our own production and our own laboratory

We manufacture membranes and pressure measuring capsules ourselves. On request, we calibrate according to ISO 17025 in our own laboratory, apply strain gauges glued or welded, manufacture on CNC, develop measurement electronics and take over test stand construction – from individual transducers to complete test stands and measurements directly in your plant.

Zweiachsiger Kraftsensor ZPR-V1 in einem Prüfstand von octogon

Test rig engineering: force measurement in two and three axes

A test rig has to generate a load reproducibly and measure it at the same time. Two examples from our own work: a dental arch test rig and a mop test rig.

Coil-Waage von octogon im Coil-Lagersystem eingebaut

Coil scale: weighing 5 to 10 tonnes without stopping the material flow

A separate scale costs space and cycle time. With the Coilhalter V2 the load-bearing part is the sensor itself: weighing happens during transport to the cutting unit.

Gefertigte biaxiale Kraftmessbolzen KMB 130 Rev E in Edelstahl

Biaxial load pin: forces in two axes at 220 kN

When the direction of force shifts, a single-axis pin sees only the projection. The biaxial KMB 130 Rev E measures 220 kN in two axes and outputs 4–20 mA per axis.
