Type 9366CDsp

Type 9366CDsp

This is a ready-to-connect kit for customer assembly of mul-

ticomponent force plates. The size of the top plate can be

chosen within wide limits.

• For assembling your multicomponent force plate

• Easy assembly

• Detachable sensor cables

• Reliable

• No recalibration necessary

Description

The 3-component force sensor is mounted between two flang-

es under preload. It is able to measure both compression and

tensile forces in any direction. A force produces a proportional

electric charge according to the piezoelectric principle. The

simple, vibration-resistance design of the force link is very rigid

in order to ensure a high natural frequency as required for

highly dynamic force measurement.

The outputs of the four force links are interconnected in the

summing box to enable measurement of the three orthogonal

forces Fx, Fy and Fz as well as 6-component force and mo-

ment (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My and Mz) acquisition. The four sensors

are mounted with ground isolation to largely rule out ground

loop problems. The rustproof set is protected against entry of

splashing water and coolant. Together with the connecting

cable Type 1687B.../1677A... it satisfies the requirements for

IP67 penetration. The summing box is available separately as

Type 5447A.

Multicomponent quartz force links measure simply, directly

and very accurately.

Applications

A multicomponent force plate measures:

• Cutting forces involved in metal-cutting machining

• Impact forces in crash tests

• Rocket engine thrust forces

• Vibration forces in aerospace components

• Friction forces

• Product testing forces

• On-road and test stand vehicle forces

• Forces on wind tunnel balances
