FULL BRIDGE THIN BEAM FORCE SENSORS TBS SERIES BEAM LOAD CELL CAPACITY RANGES: .25, .50, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40 LBS. The TBS Series thin beam force sensors many different parameters found in medical instrumentation, home appliances, process control, robotics, automotivare exceptionally suited for small load measurements. They are designed to measure and many other high volume applicatons. A specially developed integrated strain gage includes all balancing, compensating and conductive elements and is laminated to the beam to provide excellent stability and reliability.   Wiring Color Code   +Exc.

The sensor's performance is dependent upon the mechanical interface. All thin beam load cells require mounting clamps to create a double bend during loading as shown in figure 1. This illustration is exaggerated to show the clamp's effectiveness in producing opposing moments that create the double bend. An electrical output is generated as the double bend causes tension and compression on the sensor        Two typical mounting arrangements are shown below. For high accuracy applications, reinforcement plates should be slightly harder than the beam material, and the interfacing corners should be sharp. Due to low loads and sensor construction associated with the TBS-.25 thru TBS-2, inline loading (Type 2 ) is not recommended.
