Abstract:
Force transfer standards allow high-accuracy measurements of forces to be carried out – but they measure only one component of the force vector. The spatial direction of this component is given by the orientation of the transducer. A new force transducer is now designed to measure additionally the direction of the force vector, i.e. all its three components, as well as additional bending moment components and the torque, with high accuracy. For use as a transfer standard, the force vector sensor has to be traced back to standard machines in national metrological institutes. For calibration in deadweight machines, new methods have to be developed.
