PCB Dynamic Force Sensor
GENERAL PURPOSE QUARTZ FORCE SENSORS
GENERAL PURPOSE QUARTZ FORCE SENSORS offer double-ended studs or axial mounting tools. They are preloaded internally and can be used for dynamic compression, tension, and impact force measurements. The radial connector type features threaded mounting holes on both ends to support linkage. The axial mounting type protects sensor wires from damage during drop tests and installation. Additionally, the included impact cap facilitates impact and drop force measurements.
PCB general-purpose force sensors provide arange of 10 to 5000 pounds of compression force (45 to 22k N) and up to 500
pounds (2200 N) of tension. For larger ranges, consider dedicated ring, link, or impact sensor configurations. Applications include matrix printhead studies, drop testing, mechanical research, stamping and forming operations, impact testing, fatigue testing, fracture analysis, and materials testing.Application：
- Dynamic tension and compression
- Impact and repetitive applications
- Drop testing
- Material testing
- Fastrise time
QUARTZ ICP® FORCE RINGS
The ring sensor configuration is engineered tofacilitate the measurement of dynamic compression forces. Furthermore, when the device is installed under suitable pre-tension conditions, it can also measure tensile forces. The through-hole mounting option enables the utilization of bolts or the supplied studs to provide structural support for the platform, thereby allowing for the incorporation of links and other ancillary support mechanisms.
Application：
- Crimping, stamping, and press monitoring
- Mechanical installation force
- Mechanical impedance testing
- Material testing
- Tablets and punch presses
- Anti-roll bar introduction
- Balance
- Mechanical process monitoring
- Stamping and forming
- Force-limitedvibration testing
3-COMPONENT QUARTZ FORCE RINGS AND LINKS 260 & 261 SERIES
Three-component force sensors facilitate the simultaneous measurement of dynamic forces along three mutually perpendicular axes (X, Y, and Z). They comprise three sets of preloaded quartz plates, each designed to respond to the vectorial component of the force acting along its respective sensitive axis. The preloading mechanism ensures that the sensor element experiences the requisite compressive load to transmit shear forces accurately. These sensors exhibit a maximum measurement capacity of 10,000 lb (45 kN) along the z-axis (orthogonal to the top surface) and 4,000 lb (18 kN)
along the x and y (shear) axes. Both ICP® and charge output configurations are offered to accommodate diverse measurement requirements.Application：
- Impact testing
- Biomechanics
- Force plates
- Force-limited vibration
- Vehicle dynamics
- Cutting force monitoring
