Primoforce^® SKS Rope Force Sensor

The tensile force on hoist ropes can easily be measured with rope force sensors. The sensors can be installed and operated without having to make changes to the lifting device. An integrated amplifier generates an interference-independent 4…20mA measurement signal that can be sent over long distances to an evaluation unit.
The rope force sensor is suitable for both continuous load monitoring and the detection of overloads and underloads. Together with Primosensor indicators and limit switches, the load can either be visualized and / orthe load can be switched off directly.

The most important technical data for the SKS rope force transducer at a glance:

• Nominal loads 10 kN, 20 kN, 35 kN, 50 kN and 100 kN (other nominal loads available on request)
• can be used without conversion for rope diameters from 8 to 18 mm or 16 to 32 mm
• No other rope guides, deflections or clamping pieces required – resulting in minimal installation effort, fewer sources of error, lower costs and greater safety.
• Includes LED on the sensor to check whether the operating voltage is correct, ideal for troubleshooting
• Plug connection directly on the sensor (M12x1) for easy installation
• with output signal 4-20 mA, available as 3-wire or 2-wire
