ESMTS500B 50kg steel sheet weighing force sensor for Crane scale
Working Principle
When an object is placed on a sensor, gravity causes the elastomer of the sensor to undergo slight elastic deformation. The strain gauges attached to the elastomer also deform accordingly, resulting in a change in their resistance. The strain gauges are usually connected in a Wheatstone bridge circuit, and the change in resistance causes the bridge to become unbalanced, thereby outputting a faint voltage signal proportional to the gravity applied. This signal is then processed through amplification, filtering, and A/D conversion, ultimately converting it into a display of the object's weight.
Product Features
1. Hidden Installation (Embedded):
Traditional crane scale sensors are visibly exposed, while miniature sensors are often designed as pin-type or built-in, directly replacing the original connecting pin of the hook, or completely enclosing the sensor within the hook body.
Advantages: Does not alter the original lifting operation space, looks more like a regular mechanical hook, and has strong collision resistance.
2. High Impact and Overload Protection:
Lifting operations often involve impact loads at the moment of hoisting. Miniature sensors usually have a safety overload capacity of 150%~200%, with some high-end models even reaching 300%.
Internal structure is designed with mechanical limits to prevent permanent deformation of the elastic element due to accidental overload.
3. Wireless Integration and Low Power Consumption:
Since the hook is in motion, miniature sensors usually integrate a wireless transmission module and high-energy lithium battery.
Low power design is crucial, ensuring continuous operation for several weeks or even months, with sleep and wake-up functionality.
4. Environmental Adaptability:
Protection level: Typically reaches IP65 or IP67, dustproof and waterproof, suitable for dusty and humid environments like outdoor ports and metallurgical workshops.
Temperature resistance: For the metallurgical industry, specialized miniature sensors can withstand high temperatures up to 150℃~200℃ (standard types: -20℃~60℃).
