Description
The model F6171 hydraulic ring force transducer is available in nominal size NS 827 up to 6,000 kN. They can directly display the measured values or output them as an analogue signal. It is an extremely robust design in line with the requirements of geotechnical engineering.
The force is measured using the principle of hydraulics: the force acting on a piston leads to a pressure increase. This is done either directly by a connected display instrument or converted by means of a pressure sensor into an analogue signal.
Clamping forces are detected at the anchor head in a simple way and brought directly to the display. The force measuring units are used for continuous monitoring of anchors and other bracing rods/cables. Applications for hydraulic force measuring units can be found in the field of geotechnology in various fields such as tunnel construction, bridge building and slope stabilisation.
