Force measuring pin MOP

BROSA force measuring pins with mechanical stop (Mechanical Overload Protection) are made of high-quality stainless steel and withstand the highest stresses. Due to the special structure, very high overload shocks can be effectively absorbed both in and against the measuring direction without the sensor being damaged. Compared to the normal force measuring pin, the ratio between the nominal and limit load has been increased by a factor of 3. These features are specifically designed for material handling. Thanks to the simple integration of the force measuring pin in the flow of forces, a variety of other application areas is also conceivable. Consideration of the exact installation situation from design to calibration of the sensors ensures high measuring accuracy in the long term.

There are various applications in which our force measuring pins MOP are used:

  • Material handling machines
  • Measuring points under high dynamic stress


Our force measuring pins offer additional features in addition to a customized design:

  • Heavy duty design / robust
  • Can be integrated into the installation space in contrast to other systems


By default, our MOP force measuring pins offer additional features in addition to a customized design:

  • Integrated amplifier (4-20mA, CANopen, optional CANopen Safety, PROFINET, optional PROFINET PROFIsafe)
  • Design capable of sustained operation
  • Temperature compensated from -40 ... + 80 °C 
  • High EMC resistance of 200 V/m 
  • No zero drift, i.e. no re-calibration required 
  • Consistent accuracy over the entire temperature range
  • High mechanical overload protection
  • Design for tensile and / or compressive forces
  • Load limit 150% and breaking load 300% of the nominal load
  • Security classification PL c / SIL 1
  • Protection class IP67 in accordance with DIN EN 60529
  • Calibration of reproduced installation situation including test report
  • Heavy duty design / robust
  • Can be integrated into the installation space in contrast to other systems


As an option, our sensors also offer the following advantages:

  • Increased border and breaking load, for example 500/700%
  • High overload capacity up to 700%
  • Temperature compensated to + 160 °C
  • Fault insensitive to magnetic fields up to 300 mT
  • Redundant design
  • Performance Level d (e) in accordance with ISO 13849
  • SIL 2 (SIL 3) in accordance with IEC 61508
  • Protection class IP69
  • External amplifiers
  • Customized connections (cables and connectors)
