This
highly sensitive transducer is suitable for measuring
quasistatic and dynamic tensile and compressive forces
ranging from a few mN to 500 N. The special advantages
of this transducer lie in its very high sensitivity, high
frequency and small dimensions. Especially when measuring
very small quasistatic forces it is necessary to ensure
that the transducer is not exposed to temperature changes
during the measurement.
The force to be measured is introduced into the quartz
element fitted in the transducer via the cylindrical force introduction part. The element is preloaded to enable both tensile
and compressive forces to be measured. The quartz measuring element generates an electrical charge proportional to the force
which is led to the connecting plug.
