Bi-directional 5N force sensor with concurrent displacement measurement of contact surface. Suitable for static and dynamic ultra precision measurements.
The BFDS measures force to 5N for in-line or standalone setups, ideal for traceable calibration of small forces with high resolution.
Unlike strain gauges, it uses an innovative sensor technology, enabling 0.001N resolution force measurement with simultaneous nanometer displacement resolution.
Its robust and tough design allows mounting in any orientation. Applicable for a wide range of applications, from dynamic systems such as pick & place machines to static materials testing. Custom versions with alternative force range or vacuum compatibility available on request.
A patented design makes it uniquely able to measure both static and dynamic forces with equal precision. Ideal for calibrating system defining parameters such as motor current or positoning force.
Force and displacement are measured simultaneously for real time results. This gives the option to analyse and compensate collision forces.
Robust to off-center loadingDue to the relatively large touch surface, off-center loading can be accomodated. This improves accuracy in real-world applications where ideal alignment is not always possible.
Hysteresis free design ensures reliable, consistent and accurate measurements, regardless of how the input changes.
Because of the self-adapting design, it can be applied at any angle, no matter how gravity is related to its position. This offers flexibility in mounting and integration.
Contrary to other low force sensors, the robust design of the BFDS allows for a large overload, even as far as 30 N. This increases durability and prevents failure in unexpected situations.
A replaceable anvil allows for the attachment of different interfaces for alternative applications or afer wear and tear. This extends the total lifespan and flexibility of the sensor.
This makes the result reliable, traceable, internationally recognized and suitable for use in quality applications. It ensures compliance with industry and regulatory standards.
