Donut Load Cells for Injection Molding Fixtures

Scope direct axial force measurement in an injection-molding fixture with limited stack height.

Donut sensor axial force and center bore geometry concept — Conceptual geometry; the customer's fixture drawing defines the actual load path.

Define the installed load path and clearance.

Identify the sensing location, available height, thermal exposure and measurement bandwidth.

A local fixture sensor is not a universal substitute for total clamp-tonnage or tie-bar-strain measurement.

Agree rated force, peaks and sample acceptance.

Specify working load in lbf, maximum credible peak, OD / ID / height in inches, support and loading-ring geometry, installation method, cycle rate and temperature. Then identify excitation, mV/V sensitivity, instrument and required calibration points.

Approved drawings and configuration-specific documentation govern the supplied sensor. Application examples do not establish a safety-system or regulated-use certification.
