Description

The Pro-Range GML668B is a miniature load cell engineered for precise force measurement in both tension and compression modes. It employs a bonded metal foil strain gauge technology mounted on a stainless steel sensing element, providing excellent linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability characteristics. The sensor’s compact form factor allows for integration into space-constrained applications such as robotic end-effectors, automated assembly fixtures, and medical testing equipment.

Signal conditioning is achieved via a standard Wheatstone bridge configuration, requiring a 5-15 VDC excitation voltage to produce a proportional millivolt-per-volt output. The unit features a compensated operating temperature range and is housed in a robust, IP66-rated stainless steel enclosure, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments where dust and water spray resistance are required.

Key Features

  • High-precision strain gauge load cell with ±0.1% F.S. total error band.
  • Dual-purpose tension and compression force measurement up to 100 Newtons.
  • Robust stainless steel construction for long-term durability and stability.
  • IP66-rated enclosure provides protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets.
  • Wide operating temperature range (-20°C to +80°C) with internal temperature compensation.
  • Low-profile, miniature design ideal for integration into compact mechanical assemblies.
  • Standardized 2.0 mV/V output simplifies interface with common signal conditioners and PLC analog input modules.

Applications

  • Precision force feedback in robotic grippers and collaborative robot arms.
  • End-of-line product testing and quality control in automated assembly lines.
  • Medical device force monitoring for infusion pumps, surgical tools, and physical therapy equipment.
  • Process control and overload protection in packaging machinery and material handling systems.
  • Research and development test stands for mechanical component validation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended wiring and excitation voltage for this load cell?

The GML668B load cell uses a standard 4-wire Wheatstone bridge configuration (Excitation+, Excitation-, Signal+, Signal-). It requires a stable DC excitation voltage between 5 and 15 volts. The output signal is a ratiometric millivolt-per-volt (mV/V) signal, meaning the 2.0 mV/V output scales linearly with the applied excitation voltage.

Can this sensor be used for both pulling and pushing force measurements?

Yes, the GML668B is specifically designed as a dual-purpose tension and compression force sensor. Its stainless steel structure and internal strain gauge arrangement allow it to accurately measure both axial tensile (pulling) and compressive (pushing) forces up to its 100N rated capacity. Ensure proper mechanical mounting to avoid side loads.

What type of signal conditioner or amplifier is needed to read the sensor output?

You will need a strain gauge amplifier or instrumentation amplifier module capable of reading low-level millivolt signals. The amplifier should provide the required 5-15V DC excitation, amplify the small 2.0 mV/V output, and optionally include features like filtering and shunt calibration. Many PLC analog input modules and data acquisition systems have built-in support for load cell inputs.

How does the IP66 rating affect the sensor's installation environment?

The IP66 rating indicates the sensor is totally protected against dust ingress and protected against powerful water jets from any direction. This allows for reliable operation in industrial settings with airborne particulate, occasional wash-downs, or outdoor environments. It is not submersible, so avoid prolonged immersion in liquids.
