Term
Definition
P/N
Part Number
Power Cycle
When a user removes and then restores power to a device.
Resolution
The smallest change in load that can be measured. Resolution is usually much
smaller than accuracy.
Sample Rate
How fast the ADCs are sampling inside the unit.
Saturation
The condition where the transducer or data acquisition hardware has a load or
signal outside of its sensing range.
Sensing Reference
Frame Origin
The point on the sensor from which all forces and torques are measured.
Sensor
The component that converts a detected load into electrical signals.
Sensor System (or
configuration)
The entire assembly consisting of a sensor body and a system interface to
translate force and torque signals into a specific communication
interface/protocol.
Tool Interface Plate
An interface plate that attaches the customer’s tooling to the tooling side
(sensing side) of the sensor.
Torque
The application of a force through a lever or moment arm that causes something
to want to turn. For example, a user applies torque to a screw to make it turn.
Torque = force x moment arm length.
T
xy
The resultant torque vector comprised of components T
x
and T
y
.
