Force measurement, made to measure.
Force transducers and measurement electronics for cranes and hoists, as a custom-made unit or from the standard catalogue. Developed and manufactured in Sande, near Bremen, to DIN EN ISO 9001.
Products
Force transducers
Tension links · Load pins · Load cells · Rope · Strain
Sensors for measuring tensile and compressive forces on crane structures, optionally with a built-in measurement amplifier.
Measurement electronics
Overload · Amplifiers · Load spectrum
Fail-safe overload protection, measurement amplifiers and load spectrum counters per FEM 9.511.
Portable measurement systems
Crane scales · Dynamometers · Radio
Portable force measurement with radio receivers up to 300 m, with matching accessories.
Displays
Cabin displays · Large-digit
Cabin displays for the operator position, large-digit displays for shop-floor visibility.
Applications
Crane installations
Indoor and outdoor cranes, tower cranes, container bridges. Pins, tension links and load cells in the rope-end fixing or sheave.
Steelworks and foundries
Load measurement on rolling and ladle cranes, in pour control and charging. Built robust, designed for high ambient temperatures.
Plant and machinery
Force and load monitoring in special-purpose builds, test rigs, lifting and clamping fixtures. Often as a one-off built to drawing.
Crane OEMs and retrofit
Sub-supplier deliveries to crane manufacturers, plus replacement of older sensors in operating installations, without modifying the host structure.
