3.4 Red Point Alignment in a Stranding Machine In rotating applications (e.g. in stranding machines) the force measuring rollers are mounted such that centrifugal forces are compensated. Using FMS RMGZ sensors this can be achieved by turning the Red Point parallel to the rotation axis and in direction of the positive force component (refer to Fig.

Installation Manual RMGZ 400B / 600B-series Caution It is of paramount importance to compensate the centrifugal forces caused by the rotating base plate of the strander. In fast rotating machines already a small deviation in parallelism between rotation axis and Red Point (of e.g. 0.3°) can lead to a zero point error.
Installation Manual RMGZ 400B / 600B-series 4 Electrical Connection 4.1 Signals in the Wheatstone-bridge Fig. 3: Wiring diagram R400003e Wiring the Force Measuring Roller to the measuring amplifier is achieved by using a 2x2x0.25mm [AWG 23] shielded twisted-pair cable. This cable must be installed away from power lines.
Installation Manual RMGZ 400B / 600B-series 5 Design and Functionality The Force Measuring Roller RMGZ 400/600 series are used to measure the tension of individual strands, wires, cables, and similar materials in stranding machines. An application specific sheave can be mounted on the rotating flange. The lifetime lubricated deep groove ball bearing is build-in.
