Product Information Xforce P, Xforce HP and Xforce K load cells

Xforce Family

Xforce HP, Fmax 50 N

Patented Xforce load cells exclusive at Zwick Roell Xforce load cells are only available from Zwick Roell. These high accuracy load cells are used for all Zwick load frames. Applicational range Xforce load cells are ideal for tensile, compression and flexural / bending testing as well as through-zero cyclic testing. Parasitic forces All Xforce load cells are highly insensitivie to parasitic forces (transverse forces, bending moments, torque moments). Construction type and configuration of the load cells All Xforce load cells are based on the rotation-symmetric or axis-symmetric principle and are therefore highly insensitive to transverse forces. The low overall height allows shorter test arrangements to be achieved with, for example, reduced bending issues. The construction type provides a high operating force, very small measurement distances and high stiffness. Simple mechanical pin system All load cells have an accurately fitted play-free connection pin so that grips and test fixtures can be quickly and firmly aligned on the machine test axis. Self identifying sensor plugs The smart load cells have a unique electronic identification system stored on internal EEPROM: testXpert II testing software automatically identifies sensor type and properties no calibration required at sensor change

force and travel limits automatically imported sensor overloads plus date stored in EEPROM Second connection bolt for two test areas Xforce K load cells are the only load cells which can be used for two test areas because of double sided connection studs. Faster load cell changeover by option connection via mounting stud If several load cells are used or if there is to be a frequent changing of load cells, we recommend the option connection via mounting stud. This offers flexibility and significant time savings. The load cell cables will not be strained by screwing/ unscrewing when changing load cells. Reference positions for various test set-ups are automatically achieved (with the threaded mounting the reference position changes depending on the amount of threads used).

System calibration Before delivery Zwick Roell calibrates each load cell together with the testing machine, its drive system and the measurement and control electronics as one complete system. This ensures that our customers can carry out tests to the highest possible accuracy as soon as the machine is commissioned on site. Calibration and accuracy according to ISO 7500-1 The Xforce load cells far exceed the requirements of the Standards. Xforce load cells fulfill all five criteria of the accuracy classes according to ISO 7500-1, over a very wide measurement range. (see fig. 1) In connection with testControl the Xforce HP and Xforce K load cells typically offer a better linearity (relative accuracy) than is required by ISO 7500. The linearity error (relative accuracy) is less than 1% of the measured value even at 0.1% of the load cell capacity, it is less than 0.25% from 0.4% of load cells capacity. (see fig. 2) This very wide measurement range often avoids the need for a second load cell, thereby saving the cost of a second load cell and subsequent annual calibration costs. The entire measurement range is available even with large preloads caused by heavy test fixtures or specimen grips. The load cell can be used to the full capacity even when fixtures or grips represent 50 % of the load cell capacity. Over load security, force limits The load cells are extremely robust, and have a high operating force (up to 150% of their maximum capacity), so the need for overload protection can often be avoided (e.g. preloaded spring packages, mechanical bearings or guides for transverse force absorption). Xforce load cells are very robust and can withstand loads up to 300 % of their capacity without mechanical damage and up to 150% without zero shift. Xforce HP load cells in the 5 - 100 N range have integrated overload protection and are therefore protected against greater overloads (tensile forces, compressive forces, bending moments etc.). The unique use of both soft and hard limit switches within the testing machine control system allows the load cells and test fixtures to be easily protected against crosshead overtravel (only integrated in Zwick Roell machines and software). Load limits can be configured in testXpert II to automatically switch off the test system at predefined levels, thereby protecting the load cell.
