The LCS01 Series of load
cells uses LVDT type sensor to convert tension into a proportional electrical
signal. The LVTD system provides precise, accurate tension measurement while
the mechanical design allows for extremely high overloads without damage to
the unit. As web tension increases, the resultant force F also increases. This
causes the load plate to rotate minutely around the pivot point 0. This 0 point
is a torsion
bar which resists the force F. Due to leverage advantage, actual sensing roll
movement is quite small. Movement of the core in the LVDT is proportionately
larger. As the core moves within the LVDT coil, the output of the coil varies
directly with the core movement, which varies directly with the force F.
The output is thus proportional to F. The mechanical structure of the torsion
bar and the mechanical limit stops on the load plate allow the LCS01
Sensors to survive 100-to-1 overloads without structural failure or variance
in calibration. The LVDT housing also contains a high-frequency oscillator
circuit which guarantees excellent linearity. Also a thermal compensating circuit
ensures zero thermal drift when used within the stated temperature range.
