The HC 2000 series are circular load cells with a central hole, which supply an electrical signal proportional to the force applied in their axial direction. These washers find application for the indication and for the automatic control and feedback of axial thrusts static and dynamic on punching machines, on machine tools, on presses, on power hammers installed directly or, better, through a thrust spherical plane bearing. Main constructive peculiarities: • Low profile, compactness, high strength, easiness of installation. • Central hole diameter: large, for standard metric shafts and screws. • Internal sensors and electrical circuits: entirely stuffed by water-repellent and high insulating silicon filler. • Internal calibration: to allow a simple calibration of the complete system by the User.
The DS Europe HC 2000 Series comprises washer load cells featuring a central hole designed for axial force measurement. These devices are engineered for applications in punching machines, machine tools, presses, and power hammers, offering high strength, compactness, and ease of installation with internal water-repellent silicon filler.
