The
force sensor is mounted under preload between two nuts
and, therefore can measure compression and tensile forces.
The quartz element yields an electric charge which is
proportional to the force. This is picked off by an electrode
and transferred via a connector.
The
charge signal is fed via a screened cable to a charge amplifier, which converts it into a proportional output voltage.
An appropriate evaluation circuit can record and further process the measurand. The sensor is mouled ground-isolated. This
largely eliminates ground loop problems.
