Tension and Torque-Tension Load Cells

For Use in Measuring and Analyzing Threaded Fastener Characteristics in Production Lot Testing and R&D Studies


PCB's RS Technologies Series FT9000 & FTA9000 Fastener Tension and Fastener Torque-Tension Load Cells use a full bridge strain gage design. This complete line of fastener testing load cells provides a signal proportional to the tension developed in a test fastener when the tightening torque is applied. In addition, the fastener torque-tension version, also referred to as a research head, measures the thread torque (pitch torque plus thread friction torque) at the same time. The tension or torque-tension output signals from either type of load cell are read using conventional strain gage readout device or recorded by a data acquisition system. These load cells serve as an integral part of a torque-tension fastener test system when used with a torque-angle sensor and a suitable data acquisition instrument; Model 962 Portable Transient Data Recorder is recommended.

Highlights:

  • Fastener tension load cell capacities range from 3.3 to 112 klbf (15 to 500 kN)
  • Fastener Torque -Tension load cell capacities range from 4.5 to 405 klbf (20 to 1,800 kN)
  • Uses standard Skidmore-Wilhelm plates
  • Slotted base allows for fast and easy securing to existing test fixtures

Applications:

  • Measure/Analyze Threaded Fastener Characteristics
  • Perform Laboratory Evaluation of Fastener Tension & Thread Torque Characteristics
  • Measure Fastener Tension and/or Thread Friction Torque During Rundown Operations
  • Test Special Devices (such as locknuts, serrated underheads, etc.)
  • Measure Effects of Materials, Surface Finishes, Platings, & Coatings
