Triaxial force sensor, ring force transducer, Fx, Fy, Fz (Fz ±3 kN / ±674 lbf) / 9017C

Triaxial force sensor for measuring forces in any given direction, regardless of the point of load application. This triaxial ring force transducer quantifies all three components of any applied force in highest resolution. The triaxial force sensors of the 90x7 and 90x8 lines are absolutely identical except for the orientation of the coordination system. The output of the piezoelectric triaxial force sensor is an extremely linear electrical charge over their entire measuring range – this load is directly proportional to the applied force. The ring force transducer housing contains one quartz ring per force component and can be precisely aligned and mounted due to its flattened sides. The simple and vibration-resistant design of the sensor is extremely stiff and, with its uniquely high natural frequency, enables the measurement of highly dynamic force processes. With two ceramic discs on the contact surfaces, a high coefficient of friction is guaranteed on the one hand and massinsulated installation in the machine structure is possible on the other. The magnitude of the measuring range of the shear forces in the x- and y-directions depends directly on the preload in the z direction and the resulting axial static friction. The signals are picked up via the design-protected, 3-pole connector plug V3 neg., which uses a positioning aid to ensure the exact assignment of the connector pins and protects against twisting.
