Description

The GML668E load cell utilizes a metal foil strain gauge bonded to a high-strength alloy structure, translating applied force into a precise, proportional millivolt-per-volt (mV/V) output. This Wheatstone bridge configuration ensures excellent linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability, making it suitable for demanding measurement tasks.

Engineered for durability, the sensor features an IP66 ingress protection rating, safeguarding against dust ingress and powerful water jets. Its compact form factor and wide -20°C to +80°C operating temperature range make it ideal for integration into space-constrained automation systems, robotic end-effectors, and process control equipment where reliable force feedback is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended excitation voltage for the GML668E load cell?

The GML668E load cell is designed to operate with a supply (excitation) voltage between 5 and 15 VDC. A stable, regulated voltage source within this range is recommended for optimal performance and to ensure the rated 1.5 mV/V output signal is accurate and consistent.

How do I connect and read the signal from this force sensor?

The sensor outputs a differential millivolt-per-volt (mV/V) signal via its typically four-wire cable (Excitation+, Excitation-, Signal+, Signal-). You must connect it to a compatible instrumentation amplifier, load cell amplifier, or data acquisition module with a high-input impedance and sufficient gain to convert the small mV-level signal into a usable voltage or digital reading for your controller (e.g., PLC, Arduino, industrial DAQ).

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

Yes, the GML668E is specifically rated for both tension (pulling) and compression (pushing) forces up to its 10 kN capacity. Ensure the force is applied along the sensor's designated primary axis for accurate measurement. The mounting hardware must be designed to accommodate both directional loads without introducing side or bending forces.

What does the IP66 rating mean for this sensor's durability?

The IP66 rating indicates the load cell 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 dusty industrial environments or applications where it may be exposed to wash-down procedures, but it is not submersible.
