Force sensors can have problems if they are exposed to manufacturing conditions beyond the limits specified by the supplier during storage or assembly.

1. The temperature

High ambient temperature is one of the common causes of many problems in pressure load cells. Because the pressure sensor has many components which can only work properly within a specified temperature range. Exposing in environments outside the temperature range during assembly may result in negative effects, such as reducing service life and damaging sensor.

2. Voltage spike

Voltage spikes are voltage transients that exist for a short time. Although this high-energy surge voltage lasts only a few milliseconds, it can still cause damage to the sensor. Voltage spikes are extremely difficult to detect unless they come from an obvious source, such as lightning. OEM engineers must be aware of the entire manufacturing environment and surrounding potential failure risks. Timely communication with us can help identify and eliminate such problems.

3. Fluorescent lighting

When a fluorescent lamp is started, it requires a high-pressure arc to break down argon and mercury, which heats the mercury into a gaseous state. This starting voltage spike may pose a potential hazard to the transducer. In addition, the magnetic field generated by the fluorescent lighting may induce voltage across the sensor wires, which the control system may mistake for the actual output signal. Therefore, sensors should not be placed under or near fluorescent lighting devices.
