4.1
Installation of Force Sensor for Core
Core measurement in static part of machine
The following information describes the installation of the core
sensor when installed outside the rotating part of the machine
The red point should be aligned in the direction of the resulting force. Further
installation information can be found in the installation manual of the force sensor.

4.2
Installation of the Force Sensor in the Rotating Part of the Machine
In rotating applications, the force sensors are installed such that the centrifugal forces
are compensated.
Note
It is of utmost importance to compensate for the centrifugal forces
generated through the rotation of the strander. Non-compensated
force-measuring rollers lead to faulty measurements,
In the case of FMS force sensors of the RMGZ series, this is achieved by aligning the
force sensor such that the measuring direction is exactly parallel to the axis of rotation
of the strander. The red point of the force sensor points in the direction of the positive
force component.
Correct alignment of the red point can be tested after offset compensation and
calibration. If the display of an unloaded force sensor is always 0 N in all positions (e.g.,
in 12 o’clock or 6 o’clock position), the force measuring roller is aligned correctly.
