Monitoring the press-fit force

• Compact design
• Easy to integrate
• Inexpensive load cell
• Standardized nominal sensitivity for easy replacement

In an automated manufacturing process, small helical springs are pressed onto a component and pre-loaded to a defined force. The 8526 load cell with 0 ... 10 kN measuring range is very compact so can be fitted directly into the tool. Thanks to the tool’s construction, the sensor is easy to access and can be replaced quickly in the event of damage. The tool is designed to absorb inadmissible lateral forces, so that the load cell is loaded solely along the primary axis.
