Force DPS

The Force DPS automated train weighing safety system can identify individual wheel force balance errors to a pre-set tolerance. Using the pre-set tolerance figures, when a discrepancy is found, an alarm is raised to allow immediate investigation and prevent the train from leaving the depot or workshop in a dangerous condition.

The DPS has the ability to perform a high-accuracy, static, wheel-force measurement test so the offending wheel/axle can be repaired to meet its applicable standards.

The DPS is a worldwide first and is solely aimed to increase safety of all railways

HBK Strain transducer SLH700 – Hermetically sealed

Strain Transducer SLH700 – Hermetically Sealed and Minimal Influence on Measured Objects, Enabling Lower Strain-to-Force Comparatives

The SLH700 strain transducer is capable of withstanding harsh environments, making it suitable for tasks such as silo weighing or structural monitoring. Other common applications include press monitoring, welding force measurements, or force measurements in frames.

Strain Transducer SLH700 – Hermetically Sealed and Minimal Influence on Measured Objects, Enabling Lower Strain-to-Force Comparatives

The SLH700 series of extensometers operate indirectly, measuring forces with a simple yet effective functionality. When mounted on a structure, these sensors detect deformations proportional to the applied force, allowing for accurate measurement even with significant forces once calibrated.

Constructed from stainless steel and hermetically sealed, SLH700 strain links offer robust protection (IP68) against harsh environments. Their cables resist various oils and aggressive fluids, ensuring durability. Acting as strain transformers, these transducers yield an output signal six times that of a single strain gauge.

Available with or without an integrated amplifier, SLH700 strain links offer analog output signals. With minimal force shunt and requiring only two standard M6 screws for mounting, they offer ease of installation.

• HBM accuracy class: 0.5
• Nominal (rated) measurement ranges: 500 μm/m
• Outputs: 1,5 mV/V, 0... 10 V, or 4... 20 mA, depending on variant
• Degree of protection: up to IP68

Economic measurements:

Economic measurements are made easy with the SLH700VA strain transducer, offering a cost-effective yet reliable solution, partiwhen dealing with large forces. Equipped with integrated electronics and standard analog outputs, the SLH700VA provides an affordable opticompared to other force measurement methods, especially for tasks requiring significant force measurement.

For monitoring or manufacturing tasks:

Ideal for monitoring or manufacturing tasks, the SLH700 strain transducer offers effortless installation with just two M6 screws. Its oil-resistant and highly flexible cable, suitable for drag chains, ensures durability. With a high degree of protection (IP68), it is suitable for permanent outdoor use, providing robust and long-lasting force measurement even in unfavorable environmental conditions.
