2.2 Description
The tension/compression force transducer is designed for measuring static and dyna-
mic tension/compression forces. The tension/compression force transducer consists
of a measuring spring on which strain gauges (SGs) are applied. The measuring body
is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and is elastically deformed by a tension/
compression force introduced in the force direction. The resulting mechanical tensions
are measured by the strain gauges and output as an electrical output signal. The strain
gauges are arranged so that two of them are stretched and the other two are com-
pressed when a force is applied to the transducer. The pick-up circuit includes correc-
tion and compensation resistors to eliminate unwanted effects on the zero signal and
characteristic value.
