Force

SlimLine Sensor (SLS)

Measurement of Dynamic and Quasistatic Shear Forces

–0,9 … 0,9 kN up to 0 …

±8 kN

Type 9143B… up to 9147B…

Quartz sensor with extremely flat design for measuring

dynamic and quasistatic shear forces in one direction.

Maximum resolution, high rigidity, extremely small dimensions.

Ideal for installation in structures. Welded construction with

integrated connecting cable sealed in the case and with a

selection of plug connectors.

SlimLine sensors are supplied uncalibrated and must be

calibrated in situ after installation.

• Extremely small size with up to 8 kN measuring range

(shear force)

• Flexible mounting in structures

• Sealed case (IP65)

• Integral non-detachable cable with Fluoropolymer sheath

Description

The sensor contains two quartz elements sensitive to shear

force in one direction. The force to be measured is transmitted

by stiction to the quartz elements and these produce an

electrical charge directly proportional to the force applied.

The cable connection to the sensor case is tightly sealed to

provide degree of protection IP65.

Application

The sensor is used in industrial manufacturing processes

requiring measurement and partial monitoring of shear forces.

In conjunction with a ControlMonitor this sensor is ideal

for quality control and monitoring of large-scale industrial

production. Its particularly slim profile makes it perfect for

mounting in structures such as force plates, tools and machine

frames. Where very large shear forces have to be measured, or

positioning directly in the force flux is not possible, the sensor

is shunt mounted. It then measures only part of the process

force and the rest is shunted. This means a smaller measuring

range than with direct shear force measurement can normally

be used to provide a more cost-effective solution. Another

advantage is the high overload protection provided by force

shunt measurement.

Examples of Applications

• Monitoring of shear forces in machinery, tools and assembly

processes.

• Construction of platforms and dynamometers with small

dimensions.

1) The degree of protection according EN60529 is determined by water, oil, emulsions, cooling lubricant etc. have mostly a better wetting and

penetration ability. The degree of protection in contact with such liquid is classified accordingly lower.

2) Cannot be measured by the sensor
