Description
The LZAE is a flat ring transducer with the amplifier built in. It answers with ± 10 V — or ± 5 V in the option — instead of millivolts, so no measuring amplifier is needed behind it and an ordinary analogue input of a PLC reads the force directly. Nominal loads run from 1 to 10 kN in tension and in compression. Linearity and hysteresis stay within ± 0.05 % of full scale, the response frequency is about 1 kHz, and the body of stainless steel is sealed to IP67 with an M12 connector. The transducer is screwed down through six holes on its rim and takes the force on the central M12 thread — and it is that thread, not the rim, through which a dynamic load must be applied.
