Measuring Direction

HAEHNE force sensors are designed for a specific direction of force. Of the forces acting, only the component in the measuring direction is evaluated.
Forces perpendicular to the measuring direction (Ftransverse / Faxial) must be taken into account or minimized.

The measuring direction is indicated on the sensors by an arrow or marked by a red dot. During installation, this marking must point in the direction of the measuring force (FMeas). Install force measuring sensors on a measuring roller so that the arrow (or point) points in the same direction.
