What Do You Need?
US MOTION Force Sensors

Our force sensors are 1- or 2-axis bonded foil thin beam force tools with integrated strain gage. Each axis has a slide, load beam and force link connection. The GUI changes appearance based on the axis/sensor connection. (Both channels are plotted on the same graph with two vertical axes. Each channel has a display feature to hide data for easy review of simultaneous forces.) These tools are exceptionally well-suited for small load measurements.

SELECTED FEATURES

  • Integrated strain gage / load cell
  • Unique design enables measurement of forces in multiple axes
  • Excellent reliability and stability
  • Precision roller slide, load beam and force link connection for each axis
  • Bluetooth class 1 / class 2 / Zigbee wireless
  • USB interface
  • Accuracy:  ±10g
  • Measurement range:  application dependent (measures forces up to ±800g)
  • Sample rate:  30 ms max
  • Battery life:  up to 40 hours (950 mAh Lithion Ion Battery)
  • Charge time:  2 hours
  • Application-specific PCB
  • Factory calibration data stored in sensor EEPROM
  • Software loads calibration data at startup
  • Windows 2000 / XP GUI
  • Remote control via serial port
  • Data logging
  • Customizable system parameters
  • Each sensor is characterized to determine the precision of its linear region

Force measurement systems typically consist of a gage head, stainless steel calibration stand and charging station with measurement data streamed wirelessly to custom-programmed data analysis / feedback software on the host PC for immediate availability.

US MOTION force sensors are a popular choice for a variety of applications that require highly precise force measurements, such as medical instrumentation, process control and robotics. Remember — if our current products do not quite meet your specifications, we are happy to customize a solution that exactly fits your needs.
