Dynamic Calibration Methods for Force Transducers
نویسنده
چکیده
Three Methods for evaluating the dynamic response of force transducers against varying force are described in this paper. In all methods, the inertial force of a mass is used as the known dynamic force, and this reference force is applied to a force transducer under test. The inertial force is measured highly accurately as the product of the mass and the acceleration. An aerostatic linear bearing is used to obtain linear motion with sufficiently small friction acting on the mass (i.e., the moving part of the bearing). Three experimental setups were built for the dynamic calibration against an impact force, an oscillation force and a step force. Ways of establishing dynamic calibration methods are also discussed.

Evaluation of Multi-component Force Transducers Having Column Type Sensing Element
− We describe the dynamic evaluation of two multi-component force–moment transducers having columntype sensing element. Among them, one has a solid cylindrical sensing element and the other has a hollow cylindrical shape. They were calibrated statically with a force–moment calibration machine in the PhysikalischTechnische Bundesanstalt (PTB), Germany. We evaluated the dynamic characteristics of...
متن کاملRealization of Sinusoidal Forces at Cem
This paper describes the procedure implemented at CEM for dynamic force calibration using sinusoidal excitations of force transducers. The method is based on a sinusoidal excitation of force transducers equipped with an additional top mass excited with an electrodynamic shaker system. The acceleration is measured by means of a laser vibrometer.
متن کاملCalibration problems encountered while monitoring stump/socket interface pressures with force sensing resistors: techniques adopted to minimise inaccuracies.
Force sensing resistors (FSR) have been used to measure dynamic pressures at the interface between appliance and patient. Inaccuracies using FSRs have been reported. This paper summarises both the calibration problems encountered and the techniques adopted to minimise inaccuracies. It is considered that, by calibrating the transducers attached to the socket, and by adopting a strict test protoc...
متن کاملDynamic Calibration and Validation of an Accelerometer Force Balance for Hypersonic Lifting Models
An accelerometer-based force balance was designed and developed for the measurement of drag, lift, and rolling moment on a blunt-nosed, flapped delta wing in a short-duration hypersonic shock tunnel. Calibration and validation of the balance were carried out by a convolution technique using hammer pulse test and surface pressure measurements. In the hammer pulse test, a known impulse was applie...
متن کاملUncertainty in NIST Force Measurements
This paper focuses upon the uncertainty of force calibration measurements at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The uncertainty of the realization of force for the national deadweight force standards at NIST is discussed, as well as the uncertainties associated with NIST's voltage-ratio measuring instruments and with the characteristics of transducers being calibrated.
