The force transducer is useable for tension or compression and works according to the strength measuring principle on a transverse basis to the longitudinal axis.

The DZA-40 is designed for application at conveyor scales, bin-type weighing devices, platform scales and overhead conveyor scales, but can also be used for measuring the powers applied on machine parts, levers, axles etc.

It is executed as a z/s shaped beam with a measuring cell. The beam shape and two threads M10 on the waiter and underside permit a simple assembly and strength introduction.

The measuring cell for the strain gauge has been cast with a high-elastic compound and is thus protected against mechanical or chemical damages.

The strain gauge bridges measure the caused deformation in the measuring cell. An external amplifier (connection to the DZA-40 with approx. 0,5 m of cables) gives a measuring signal between 1 and 9 mA or between 4 and 20 mA impressed current. The calibration is carried out by use of a resistor, parallel connected with a strain gauge bridge (software calibration).

The DZA-40 is provided for the direct connection to a automatic control or a controlling switch.
