Description

The Pro-Range GML668B is a precision force sensor utilizing a bonded metal foil strain gauge within a robust stainless steel housing. This Wheatstone bridge configuration provides a highly linear and stable millivolt-per-volt output proportional to the applied force, making it ideal for integration into data acquisition systems, PLCs, and custom instrumentation.

Engineered for both tension and compression loading up to 200 Newtons, the sensor’s miniature form factor allows installation in space-constrained applications without sacrificing performance. The IP66-rated enclosure protects the internal strain gauge from dust ingress and water jets, ensuring reliable operation in demanding industrial automation, robotic end-effector force feedback, and medical device testing environments.

Key Features

  • High-Accuracy Measurement: Delivers a comprehensive error of ±0.1% of Full Scale (F.S.) for precise force monitoring.
  • Robust Stainless Steel Construction: Provides excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance for long service life.
  • IP66 Environmental Protection: Sealed against dust and powerful water jets for use in harsh conditions.
  • Wide Temperature Operation: Functions reliably from -20°C to +80°C with a compensated range of -10°C to +60°C.
  • Standardized Output: Provides a nominal 2.0 mV/V output with a ±10% tolerance, ensuring compatibility with common signal conditioners and amplifiers.
  • Dual-Mode Loading: Suitable for both tensile (pull) and compressive (push) force applications.
  • Optimized Form Factor: Miniature design facilitates integration into tight spaces within assemblies and machinery.

Applications

  • Robotic gripper and end-effector force feedback control systems.
  • Precision force monitoring in automated assembly and test fixtures.
  • Medical device validation and biomechanical research equipment.
  • Industrial process control for press-fit and insertion force verification.
  • Load and overload protection systems in machinery and conveyors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended excitation voltage for this GML668B force sensor?

The Pro-Range GML668B force sensor is designed to operate with a DC excitation voltage between 5 and 15 volts. A stable, regulated power supply within this range should be used to power the sensor's internal Wheatstone bridge for optimal accuracy and to generate the standard 2.0 mV/V output signal.

Can this sensor measure both pulling and pushing forces?

Yes, the GML668B is specifically engineered as a dual-mode tension and compression force sensor. Its stainless steel structure and internal strain gauge configuration allow it to accurately measure both tensile (pull) and compressive (push) loads up to its rated capacity of 200 Newtons.

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

The sensor's low-level millivolt-per-volt output requires signal conditioning. You will need an instrumentation amplifier or a dedicated load cell amplifier module (HX711, INA125, etc.) to amplify the small differential signal to a usable voltage range (e.g., 0-5V or 4-20mA) compatible with your PLC analog input or microcontroller ADC.

What does the IP66 rating mean for installation?

The IP66 rating indicates the sensor is completely protected against dust ingress and can withstand powerful water jets from any direction. This allows for reliable installation in industrial environments where exposure to dust, debris, or washdown procedures is expected, without compromising the internal strain gauge.
