Frequently Asked Questions

What is the excitation voltage range for the GML668B force sensor?

The GML668B operates with a recommended excitation voltage range of 5 to 15 VDC. Applying voltage within this range ensures the strain gauge bridge is properly powered and the rated 2.0 mV/V output signal is generated accurately. Exceeding 15 VDC may cause overheating and affect long-term stability.

Can this sensor measure both pulling and pushing forces?

Yes, the Pro-Range GML668B is specifically designed as a tension and compression load cell. Its all-welded stainless steel construction and internal strain gauge arrangement allow it to accurately measure both axial pulling (tension) and pushing (compression) forces up to its 1000N rated capacity.

What does the IP66 protection rating mean for this sensor?

The IP66 rating indicates the sensor is totally protected against dust ingress (first digit 6) and protected against powerful water jets from any direction (second digit 6). This makes it suitable for use in industrial environments where exposure to dust, debris, or occasional wash-downs is expected, ensuring reliable operation.

How do I interface the sensor's 2.0 mV/V output with a microcontroller or PLC?

The 2.0 mV/V analog output requires signal conditioning. You will need an instrumentation amplifier or a dedicated load cell amplifier module to boost the low-level millivolt signal to a standard voltage range (e.g., 0-5V or 0-10V) compatible with an ADC input on a microcontroller or an analog input module on a PLC. Ensure your amplifier is matched to the sensor's bridge resistance.
