Products/Services for force
Force and load sensors covers electrical sensing devices used to measure tension, compression, and shear forces. Search by Specification | Learn More
Force and torque instruments are used to measure force, weight or torque. Some can measure force and torque by changing the sensor / transducer. Search by Specification | Learn More
Six-axis force and torque sensors measure the full six components of force and torque: vertical, lateral, and longitudinal forces as well as camber, steer, and torque movements. Search by Specification | Learn More
Load cells are transducers for force and load measurement, often with mounting packaging. They are widely used in testing, instrumentation, and as components in larger devices such as scales. Search by Specification | Learn More
Strain gauges are measuring elements that convert force, pressure, tension, etc., into an electrical signal. Search by Specification | Learn More
Collision sensors are used to protect robots from colliding with other objects. Noncontact sensors are used to help robots avoid these collisions. Search by Specification | Learn More
Shock and vibration testing shakers are force generators or transducers that provide a vibration, shock, or modal excitation source for testing and analysis. Search by Specification | Learn More
Constant force springs are tightly coiled wound bands of pre-hardened spring steel or stainless steel strip. When extended, a constant force is exerted and maintained as the spring is allowed to close. Search by Specification | Learn More
Impact hammers are used in structural and modal analysis to determine component or system response to impacts of varying amplitude and duration. A hammer with a force transducer in its head is paired with an accelerometer on the component being tested to compare impact and response. Search by Specification | Learn More
Cyclone separators and centrifugal separators utilize centrifugal, gravitational, and inertial forces to remove fine particles suspended in air or gas. Search by Specification | Learn More
...rates in response to gravity. Centrifugal force (measured as xg, gravity) is used to increase this settling rate depending on the rotation to induce centrifugal force, which accelerates the separation of the liquid from the solids. Centrifugal force... Search by Specification | Learn More
Electromagnets use electric current to generate a magnetic field which can be turned on or off as needed. They are made from a softer iron which quickly dissipates the induced magnetism after the current is switched off. Search by Specification | Learn More
...pressure sensors are unloaded, their resistance is very high. When force is applied, their resistance decreases. Pressure sensitive film is used to create a direct, visual image of the pressure distribution. Active pressure sensor arrays consist... Search by Specification | Learn More
Washers are disks of metal or non-metallic material placed beneath a nut, an axle bearing, or a joint, to relieve friction, prevent leakage, isolate, prevent loosening, or distribute pressure. Search by Specification | Learn More
...include stroke, rated force or load, system backlash, and rated speed. Stroke is the maximum distance that the shaft travels from a fully extended position to a fully retracted position. Backlash is the position error due to directional change... Search by Specification | Learn More
