The TBS Series thin beam force sensors many different parameters found in medical instrumentation, home
appliances, process control, robotics, automotivare exceptionally suited for small load measurements. They are designed to measure and many other high
volume applicatons. A specially developed integrated strain gage includes all balancing, compensating and conductive elements and is laminated to the
beam to provide excellent stability and reliability.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS FOR THIN BEAM FORCE SENSORS
TBS MK-1 Mounting Kit
Mounting Kit TBS_MK-1 for thin beam sensors TBS-.25, thru TBS-5 Type 1 Mounting Only. Kit includes: Mounting
blocks A, B, C.
TBS MK-2 Mounting Kit
Mounting Kit TBS_MK-2 for thin beam sensors TBS-10 thru TBS-40. Kit includes 4 mounting blocks,
2 of each block A & B.
Careful design considerations must be taken
into account
when mounting the TBS-MK-1
and
the TBS-MK-2 Series thin beam force
sensors.
The
sensor's performance is
dependent upon
the
mechanical
interface.
All thin beam load
cells
require mounting
clamps to
create a
double bend
during
loading as shown in
figure 1. This
illustration
is exaggerated to
show the clamp's effectiveness
in producing
opposing moments that create the
double
bend. An
electrical output is generated
as
the double bend causes tension
and
compression
on the sensor
Two typical mounting arrangements are
shown
below.
For high
accuracy applications,
reinforcement plates
should be slightly
harder
than the beam material, and
the interfacing
corners
should be sharp. Due to low
loads
and sensor construction associated
with the
TBS-.25 thru TBS-2, inline loading (Type 2
)
is
not
recommended.
