Spoilt for choice: piezoelectric or strain gauge based force transducers?
Two principles have become dominant in force measurement: Piezoelectric sensors and strain gauge (SG) based force transducers. When is which principle appropriate?
The key to new applications: precision
Efficient in use: S-shaped S2M force transducer. Using high-precision transducers, for example S2M from HBM, provides many benefits. Sensors offering an accuracy class of 0.02 enable force measurement chains to be designed with...
Force shunt measurement using CFW piezoelectric force washers
The measuring chain's sensitivity varies depending on the pre-stressing device's design. For example, when HBM's CPS set of pre-stressing elements is used, the CFW piezoelectric force washers' sensitivity is reduced by 7-12 %....
Measuring forces in the force shunt: Three methods used in practice
Sometimes it is of advantage to measure force in the force shunt. This article presents three methods used for measurement in the force shunt.
