Nobel Alpha Load Beam
Alpha Beam is a high-precision, low-capacity differential bending beam transducer, ideal for medical and industrial applications. Environmentally sealed and OIML approved, with capacities from 5.5 to 112 lb - perfect for accurate and reliable force measurement!
Description
Alpha Beam is a low-capacity differential bending beam transducer designed for use in a wide range of medical, industrial and testing applications. Its unique features are a combination of superb accuracy and performance in a package that is highly sealed against moisture and solvents. Alpha Beams fulfil both OIML requirements for accuracy and IP67 requirements for moisture protection. Nominal force capacities range from approximately 5.5 to 112 pounds (25 to 500 Newtons). Within the capacity range, Alpha Beams measure force bi-directionally, producing an output mV/V signal directly proportional to the force applied. The heart of the patented Alpha Beam is the BLH-developed SR-4®, foliestrain gage. Strain Gages are electrically coupled to form a balanced Wheatstone Bridge. Compensating resistors maintain the accuracy of the bridge over a wide temperature range. The gauged element of the beam metal bellows is environmentally sealed against all unfavourable conditions, including water immersion. Alpha Load Beams are approved by Factory Mutual Research (FM) and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) for use in Class l, ll and lIl, Division 1 and 2 hazardous areas. They are also OIML tested and approved in accordance with clause 8.1 of the European standard for metrological aspects of non-automatic weighing instruments EN 45501:1992 and using OIML International Recommendation R 60 (Edition 1991).
