• Monitoring press forces with pressure plates
The following measurement set-up also enables you to determine press
forces. The hardened washers may be omitted, if the hardness of the
pressure plates is at least 43 HRC.

• Monitoring rope forces with tension rods
The KMR has been designed for compressive forces. Due to its internal bore
hole it may also be used to monitor tensile forces. Take into account the
tensile strength of the tension element in use.
