Advanced sensor – Tubular load cell instead of force measuring pin

BROSA possess advancement in force measurement technology. Tubular load cells

measure radial forces acting on an axis with a constant or variable direction of the force

transfer. These can even be used in case of axes that have not been suitable for force

measurements due to their dimensions or deflection. The combination of several tubular load

cells on one axis is possible – not alone to ascertain the load on several pulleys at the same

time.

The field of application is wide-ranging: from the force measuring in runners on lattice boom

cranes to pulleys on drilling rigs to the mounting in drive units on jack-up rigs. Thereby

measuring ranges can vary greatly from 40 kN up to 5500 kN.

In October of this year BROSA delivered its 200th tubular load cell.

Force measuring pin MEMS

BROSA has developed a force measuring pin which can output the line pull to the PLC regardless of the looping of the cable pulley, also varying within a defined angular range.

To be able to do measurements, for example, in cable pulleys, force measuring pins need a constant looping of the cable so that the direction of force transmission of the resulting force remains constant. The looping must often be held constant during various boom positions with the aid of an auxiliary roller in the crane boom. BROSA has developed a force measuring pin ...

New regulations regarding container handling equipment

The introduction of mandatory container weighing starting from 1st of July 2016 requires sensors that can be installed either on a headblock of the crane or on the spreader that is lifting the container. BROSA has developed sensors that can withstand the extreme high shock loading on these installations and still provide a very high level of accuracy.

For the use in container handling equipment sensors with a high degree of shock loading and vibration resistance are required. Lifting a load requires the sensors to immediately measure and register the weight of the load. Unwanted situations, e.g. snag load loads create a huge increase of load within a very short period of time. Load sensors must be able to identify the...

New force measurement sensors – revised brochure

From the beginning of our history BROSA’s aim is that our products comply with the market’s requirements. Considering that these requirements frequently change, our sensors have to be developed as well. True to our motto “Force measurement is our passion” BROSA has developed several sensors within the last year.

These sensors have a significant potential and can be used in a wide range of different applications. So we decided to reprint our product brochure. Now sensors such as our force measuring pin MEMS, force measuring pin MOP, normal force sensor and our angle sensor MEMS find their place in it. Have a look in our new brochure and convince yourself of our innovative sens...
