Introduction

The Thrust Load Meter BT is a portable device to evaluate the axial load on support rollers on rotary kilns or dryers. It helps to identify axially high-loaded or low-loaded rollers quickly and to counteract timely with adequate adjustment, the so-called roller skewing.

The Thrust Load Meter BT is equipped with an ultra-precise inclinometer and is specially made for application on large bearing housings as on rotary kilns. The device simply needs to be attached by magnets to the bearing housing without opening it. The measured values are displayed on the screen directly on the Thrust Load Meter and also transferred by Bluetooth to a PC for further processing.

With the Thrust Load Meter BT, dangerous axial loads on the support rollers can be detected
Measuring Principle

The axial load, the thrust load, coming from the kiln tires needs to be taken by the bearings of the support rollers. The axial load slightly deforms the bearing housing and tilts them to the side. This movement is very small but big enough to be measured by the Thrust Load Meter. By comparing the different rollers, the one with the higher or lower load can be identified easily, which helps to adjust the skewing properly in a way that the load gets shared among all the support rollers evenly.
