PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The LS‑B‑127‑50/125/500/2000 line of sensors
from RJG, Inc. are single‑channel, digital strain
gage, 0.50” (12,7 mm) button‑style cavity
pressure sensors that can withstand forces
up to 50 lb. (0.22 kN), 125 lb. (0.56 kN),
500 lb. (2.22 kN), or 2,000 lb. (8.9 kN) and
temperatures up to 250 °F (121 °C—standard
sensors) or 425 °F (218 °C—high‑temperature
sensors).
The button‑style sensor has a permanent cable
which connects the sensor head to the sensor
electronics housing. The housing provides
not only the sensor’s electronics, but also the
connector which enables the interfacing of the
sensor with the
eDART
®
or CoPilot
®
systems;
the exclusive Lynx™ digital technology sensors
are designed for use with the RJG
eDART
and CoPilot process control and monitoring
systems.
APPLICATIONS
SINGLE‑CHANNEL SENSORS
Button‑style cavity pressure sensors are suitable
for injection molding applications in which the
following conditions are met:
•
Sensor will be installed behind an ejector,
blade, or core pin.
•
Applied plastic pressure is high enough to
prevent poor sensor resolution, but low
enough to prevent sensor damage.
•
Only one point of contact (single pin) to the
sensor.
•
Sensor will be kept below 250 °F (120 °C)
for standard models or 425 °F (220 °C)
for high‑temperature models (LS‑B‑127‑
XXXX‑H)
in the mold; sensor electronics,
regardless of model , will be kept below
140 °F (60 °C) .
CAUTION
LS‑B‑127‑XXXX model sensors
MUST be used only within the recommended
temperature ranges; failure to comply will result in
the damage or destruction of equipment.
