Hanging load indicator

27 October 2010 Analogue, Mixed Signal, LSI

Becker Engineering’s range of load indicating devices has been extended to include the new high-precision Dynafor LLX2 instrument, which accurately measures tensile forces and determines the exact weight of hanging loads.

It consists of a sensor and removable display which attaches securely to the sensor unit or can be handheld for remote measurement.

This new series has a precision of 0,1% and uses 2,4 GHz radio technology to provide an operating range of 80 m. The wireless link enables the device to be used in any environment where a number of different devices are simultaneously in operation, with no risk of interference. The Dynafor LLX2 series, which is available in six capacities between 0,5 T and 6,3 T, has an IP66 index protection rating that enables use indoors and outdoors. The sensor offers between 300 and 1000 operating hours and 3000 hours on standby, while the display unit ensures 48 hours in use. This robust unit has also been designed for shock and moisture resistance, and operates in temperatures between -20°C and +40°C.

Intuitive commands enable fast access to various functions. For enhanced flexibility, up to four sensors can be associated to four displays during operation. A PC link connection kit, via a USB interface, enables advanced processing of measurement data. A range of fastening systems designed specially for the Dynafor means compatibility with traditional shackles and with accessories for all stand chains.
