Sensor Technology and Measurement from Austria

Load cells, force transducers, and sensor technology for industry

octogon supplies load cells, force transducers, force sensors and sensor technology from 1 N to 50 MN for industry – as standard designs from stock or as customized special solutions. This includes the appropriate measuring electronics, sensors for pressure, level, temperature, torque, and flow, as well as ISO 17025 calibration in our own laboratory. Datasheet and delivery time are online for every item, price and 3D data for most of them.

Force, Load and Weight

The program includes S-type cells, bending beam and shear beam load cells, double shear beam and tension load cells, platform load cells, button cells and flat designs, column and ring cells, force measuring rings, tension links and rope tension measuring cells, machine foot load cells, and multi-axis force sensors. Force measuring pins and measuring axles replace existing load pins and turn a machine into a measuring system without modification. For plant construction, there are weighing modules for safe installation, crane scales and fully assembled scales.

Pressure, Level, Temperature, Torque, Flow

For pressure, the program ranges from relative, absolute and differential pressure sensors to pressure switches and manometers. We measure level with radar, ultrasound and hydrostatically. For temperature, there are temperature sensors according to PT100 and PT1000, versions with connectors, with displays and temperature transmitters. Torque covers static reference transducers, rotating sensors with contact and contactless transmission, and transducers for screwdrivers. For flow, there are flow switches, electromagnetic, turbine, gear, paddle wheel and vortex flow meters, Coriolis and variable area meters, and devices for gases.

Measurement electronics for every signal

Every sensor has the right evaluation: weighing transmitters, weighing indicators for installation and in housings, large displays up to 100 mm digit height, strain gauge amplifiers and universal amplifiers for the laboratory. Analog with 4…20 mA or ±10 V, serial with RS485 and RS232, digital with IO-Link directly in the cell or via PROFINET, PROFIBUS-DP, Modbus/TCP, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP and CANopen. For demanding environments with ATEX and IECEx approval, explosion protection, protection class up to IP69k and variants up to SIL 3 and PL e.

From our own production and our own laboratory

We manufacture membranes and pressure measuring capsules ourselves. On request, we calibrate according to ISO 17025 in our own laboratory, apply strain gauges glued or welded, manufacture on CNC, develop measurement electronics and take over test stand construction – from individual transducers to complete test stands and measurements directly in your plant.

Why load pins fail and how to prevent it

A load pin has no wearing parts. When it fails, the cause is almost always outside: impacts, welding, heat, moisture, chemicals or the cable. What you can do about it.

Installing load pins correctly: measuring direction, anti-rotation, load introduction

A load pin only measures correctly when it sits the way it was calibrated. What matters during installation: measuring direction, anti-rotation locking, gap, cable and zero point.

Test rig engineering: force measurement in two and three axes

A test rig has to generate a load reproducibly and measure it at the same time. Two examples from our own work: a dental arch test rig and a mop test rig.
