Force Sensors have dynamic range of 1,000 lb in 3 axes.
Press Release Summary:
Structured with quartz element, medium-range ICP® and charge-output Three-Component Force Sensors simultaneously measure dynamic or quasi-static forces in 3 orthogonal directions and deliver independent measurement signal for each direction. Model 260A02 ICP® version utilizes built-in microelectronics, while Model 260A12 charge-output version operates with in-line charge converters and laboratory-style charge amplifiers.
Original Press Release:
Medium Range Three-Component Force Sensors
May 12, 2003, Depew, NY - The Force/Torque Division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc., offers medium range ICP® and charge output Three-Component Force Sensors capable of simultaneously measuring dynamic or quasi-static forces in three orthogonal directions (X, Y, and Z) and delivering an independent measurement signal for each direction. Three-Component Force Sensors are ideal for a variety of applications, including cutting tool force monitoring, modal analysis, engine mount analysis, biomechanics, and impact testing.
Sensors are structured with a quartz element providing long-term stability, small size, high stiffness of 19 lb/µin in the z-axis (6 lb/µin in the x, y axes), and a wide dynamic range of 1000 lb in the z-axis (1000 lb in the x, y axes). Model 260A02 ICP® version utilizes built-in microelectronics to convert the high impedance charge to a low impedance voltage, and provides a voltage output of 2.5 mV/lb in the z-axis and 5 mV/lb in the x & y axes. Model 260A12 charge output version operates with in-line charge converters or laboratory style charge amplifiers, and provides a charge output of 15 pC/lb in the z-axis and 32 pC/lb in the x and y axes.
