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 steel or 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 tensioned and the other two
are compressed when a force is applied to the transducer. The pick-up circuit includes
correction and compensation resistors to eliminate unwanted effects on the zero signal
and characteristic value.
