Our Force & Load SolutionsDesigned for many industries, our customizable Force and Load solutions utilize Magneto-Elastic, capacitive, and eddy current technologies to reliably measure exerted forces or material loads in applications including occupant detection, brake force, continuous conveyors, forklifts, agriculture wagons, equipment buckets, and others. Load Control SensingForce and load sensors can accurately measure the forklift load during operation, with the measurement unaffected by load location.
RELATED TECHNOLOGIES
Magneto-Elastic OPTIONS & VALUESUsed to indicate overloads to the operator, force and load sensors can combine with linear position measurement in the same package. |
Continuous Weigh ScalesForce and load sensors measure the material load on a continuous conveyor belt and prevent overloads beyond operating range.
RELATED TECHNOLOGIES
Magneto-Elastic COMMON SPECIFICATIONSProviding <1 ms response to load measurement, force and load sensors for continuous conveyors include closed loop control feedback for go and no-go quality with tare function. |
Material Load SensingFor agriculture wagons, force and load sensors measure the material load being carried.
RELATED TECHNOLOGIES
Magneto-Elastic COMMON SPECIFICATIONSForce and load sensors indicate overloads to the operator, preventing in-field failures. |
Brake Caliper SensorMethode's force and load sensors are used to measure the deformation of the brake caliper.
RELATED TECHNOLOGIES
Eddy Current COMMON SPECIFICATIONSThe brake caliper sensor compare the force exerted by the driver against the actual force exerted on the caliper. |
Low Force MeasurementForce and load sensors for automotive applications measure force using a defined dielectric between two moving electrodes.
RELATED TECHNOLOGIES
Eddy Current COMMON SPECIFICATIONSDetermining the travel and stiffness of the dielectric, force and load sensors easily calculate the force, particularly for a surface load. |
