DESIGN AND TESTING OF A TRANSDUCER FOR MEASURING THE LOADS ON THE ROLLERS OF A CRANE CARRIAGE

摘要

In this paper, a transducer designed for measurement of the loads acting on the rollers of a crane carriage is presented. The design process, the influence of the position of the applied load and calibration of the transducer are described. The load cell was tested on a 25 kN bridge crane for which the loads on the carriage rollers were determined in order to verify the strength structure.
