It is not permitted to make any changes to the sensor without the written agreement of burster präzisionsmesstechnik gmbh & co kg. burster präzisionsmesstechnik gmbh & co kg does not accept liability for damages or injury if this condition is disregarded.
Reliability IMPORTANT: Read the operation manual carefully before using the device, and keep it for future reference. Applications 2.1.1 Intended use The sensor is intended mainly for force/torque measurements in production facilities, units newtons (N) and newtonmeters (Nm). The local acceleration due to gravity (g ≈ 9.81 m/s²) must be taken into account when determining masses.
Description of the sensor Please refer to the sensor’s data sheet for full details of dimensions, weight, degree of protection etc. (see section 15). Principle of operation The sensor has an internal structure which, under deformation, allows forces and torques to be measured by means of strain gages and converted into an electrical signal.
Requirements for accurate measured values 3.3.1 Full-scale deflection The applied forces and torques deform the sensor by approx. 15 µm to 40 µm, depending on the load direction. This deformation is known as the “full-scale deflection”, and is so small that it cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Planning the desired application Calculating the maximum load The maximum limit value (L ) must not be exceeded with dynamic loads. The formula for calculating can be found in the data sheet (see section 15). Use the formula to add up the maximum occurring force and torque vectors with a weighting factor. The calculated value for L must remain smaller than the value specified in the data sheet.
• must contain no holes or milled slots, nor any centering holes Requirements for evaluation instruments Use electronic or evaluation instruments suitable for strain gages.

The packaging should be retained by a representative of the manufacturer and/or the delivery company. The sensor should be transported only in its original packaging or in packaging capable of providing an equivalent degree of protection.

Installation Fixing method 6.1.1 Requirements for fitting Screws Use only screws with the properties specified in the data sheet (see section 15). Mounting surfaces Make sure that all mounting surfaces meet the requirements described in section 4.3. 6.1.2 Fastening the sensor We recommend centering the sensor via the inner centering surface ⌀46 H7.
NOTICE Do not apply sudden loads to the sensor. Connection Install the cables so that they do not vibrate. Ensure sufficiently large bending radii for the cables. NOTICE Relieve the bending stress exerted by the connecting cable on the plug connector at the sensor housing.
6.2.2 Grounding and equipotential bonding All connecting wires (including the cable screening braid) are electrically insulated from the sensor body. The insulation resistance between the connecting wires and the sensor body is measured. The test certificate states that the minimum resistance is greater than 30 MΩ (test voltage 45 V). NOTICE ...

Using the sensor for the first time NOTICE Never put the sensor into service if it shows signs of damage incurred in transit. Only ever use sensor under the conditions specified in this operation manual. of 24...
Measurement chain calibration Each sensor is supplied with an individual test and calibration certificate. You can also download this test and calibration certificate at a later date by entering the serial number on the burster website (www.burster.com) (see section 15).
Monitor operation 8.3.1 Overload without any load (not built in your You can recognize an overload from an increased output signal application without attachments) . For information on the maximum load, see section 4.1. Note: Check the sensor if the signal increases by more than approx. 5 %. NOTICE ...
Maintenance and cleaning Recalibration The sensor should be recalibrated by the manufacturer after no more than 24 months. Note: If the sensor is used in machines with high cycle rates, recalibration should be carried out sooner. Cleaning Disconnect the sensor from the power supply and use a dry cloth to clean the sensor. NOTICE ...
