Load Control SensingForce and load sensors can accurately measure the forklift load during operation, with the measurement unaffected by load location. |
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. |
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. |
