PCE Instruments PCE-4PCFM Closing Force Transducer

Overview

The PCE-4PCFM is a 4-point closing force transducer designed to measure clamping forces at multiple attachment points simultaneously. This device ensures optimal load distribution during material handling of white goods (refrigerators, washing machines) and brown goods (consumer electronics). The color touch display shows individual force readings, totals, and percentage distribution, helping operators quickly verify and adjust clamp force balance.

Key Features

• Simultaneous 4-point force measurement, each sensor rated to 30 kN (3 tonnes)
• Color touch display with 1 kg resolution
• Displays individual force readings per sensor, total force, and force distribution percentages
• Selectable units: kg, N, kN, or lb
• Adjustable target values with color-coded out-of-tolerance alerts
• Operator and clamp ID input with printed documentation
• Optional USB storage for measurement data and reports
• Integrated thermal printer for on-site documentation
• Adjustable measuring points to accommodate different clamp designs
• Rechargeable battery for mobile operation

Applications

• Clamping force verification and load distribution balancing for material transport
• Quality assurance and equipment calibration of large-area clamps
• Regular recalibration and maintenance documentation
• Preventing product damage from uneven force distribution

Included Accessories

• 4× load cells
• 8× guide shafts
• Mains power adapter
