Exact measurement results thanks to high precision and compensation for crosstalk
MCS10 Multi-Axis Sensor: Measures 6 Forces and Moments with Accuracy Class 0.1 Guaranteed for Each Channel
Up to six forces and torques on three axes (x, y, z) can be measured in combination with the MCS10 multi-axis sensor. This means that the MCS10 is ideally suited for mechanical engineering usage, in test benches, and also in research and development. It returns a three-dimensional image of the measurement set-up with a maximum precision up to accuracy class 0.1. Thanks to the MCS10's innovative construction with flange, it achieves the best measurements possible.
Individual signal channels of common multi-axis sensors often mutually affect each other. The MCS10 reduces this type of interference, known as crosstalk, to a minimum to ensure a problem-free signal. HBM also offers an individual compensation matrix for the MCS10, which can be used to further improve the precision, combined with an HBM measuring amplifier.
Thanks to TEDS technology the installed data acquisition unit automatically detects the MCS10. This ensures that it is ready for immediate use without extensive parameterization. All the transducer's measurement axis can be configured independently of each other. HBM has combined the experience from numerous custom-made special transducers in the MCS10, while adding a standard product's reliability and flexibility; for a series production product that is immediately available and quality-tested.

Minimized Crosstalk
Crosstalk is an unwanted and inherent phenomenon occuring when one axis of a sensor is stressed with a single load, and some other axes are not.
HBM provides a compensation matrix for mathematical calculations for every sensor, in order to minimize inherent crosstalk effects that could distort the test result. The PMX, ClipX and QuantumX amplifiers allow for virtually automatic compensation calculations. This may reduce the crosstalk by a factor of 3 to 5.
