Calibrating a hydraulic press

• Ultra-low non-linearity of < 0.05 % F.S.
• Measurement chain includes DAkkS calibration certificate
• DAkkS calibration certificate meets auditing requirements
• Load cell made of high-strength stainless steel for measurements with maximum precision

Task

A hydraulic press is fitted with a load cell for monitoring the pressing force. This sensor must be checked regularly, because the system is operated in shifts under difficult conditions. The only option is to calibrate the sensor in its installed state, because internal friction forces arising from guides etc. can have an effect on the measurement result. The 8527 load cell, bundled with the TRANS CAL 7281, proves a practical measurement combination for portable use under these circumstances.
