With our miniature force sensors, measuring ranges up to at least 2000N can be realized. For larger forces, the deformation of suitable measuring bodies is monitored with our displacement transducers and the force is derived therefrom. With complex substrate bodies, force sensors with up to 6 degrees of freedom can be realized. Our force sensors can also be equipped as standard with integrated, programmable instrumentation amplifier.
Our standard sensors are suitable for many common applications and lend themselves particularly well for applications with small quantities. We are happy to assist you in the selection and integration of a suitable sensor. The sensors are available in several variants and some of them can be additionally adapted to customer requirements, e.g. with milled grooves or by adjusting the amplifier gain.
The force sensor bracket is available for different measuring ranges and can be mounted on a base with an M2 screw. Voltage regulation and signal amplification are integrated so that the sensor can be flexibly supplied with 12V or 24V and provides an output signal between 0 and 10 Volts.
Are you looking for a sensor for larger loads or with particularly compact dimensions? Or are you developing a series product and in need of an adapted measuring body? We would be pleased to find a matching solution for you. We will develop a suitable sensor according to your specifications regarding installation situation, environmental influences, error tolerances, etc:
Very compact dimensions can be achieved with thin-film strain gauges. Bending zones from 1 mm width are possible. A complete sensor element can be a few millimetres in size; usually the space required for soldering points is the limiting factor.
Even with planar sensor geometries, sensors with up to 6 degrees of freedom construct. Thus, force and torque can be measured in all 3 dimensions.
