Mounting the Force Sensors
For mounting the force measuring sensors please consult the respective installation
manual. The manual is always delivered together with the sensor. In rotating applications
it is recommended mounting the Force Measuring Sensors as close as possible to the
rotation axis.
Note
In rotating applications the force measuring sensors are mounted such that centrifugal
forces are compensated. Using FMS RMGZ sensors this can be achieved by turning the
Red Point parallel to the rotation axis and in direction of the positive force component
(refer to Fig. 6).
Caution
It is of paramount importance to compensate the centrifugal forces caused by the rotating
base plate of the strander. The measuring results will be wrong, if this rule is broken
