The CC force transducers have been designed for use in the plastics industry where it is required to measure the reaction force to the extrusion pressure that is present on the casing of the gearbox along the axis of the extruder screw. These models, fitted in contact with the thrust bearings, measure a force whose valve, after suitable correction, is equal to extrusion pressure multiplied by the screw area. The CC cylindrical force transducers are all stainless steel construction and configured in such a way that the body, airtight welded, acts also as the case, making a unit that is smaller than the CT series. The connector in the shank is on the same axis as the transducer, which in some cases alows easier installation.
