THE INFLUENCE OF THE FORCE FEED-IN SYSTEM ON HIGH-ACCURACY LOW FORCE MEASUREMENT

Roland Füßl, Gerd Jäger

Abstract

Forces are vectorial values which can be detected only by measuring their effects. Thus, a force sensitive element for the conversion into another measurable value is needed. If a force in a definite direction is to be detected, a force feed-in system is necessary. Its task is to separate forces from other directions. In the case of low force measurement the feed-in system has a significant influence on the accuracy of the whole force measuring system. This paper analyses the requirements for the force feed-in system depending on the properties of the force sensitive element. The results are shown for three different force sensor types.
