A force transducer measures forces indirectly: a strain gauge – a wafer-thin metal strip on a plastic film – is bonded to a metal body. When a force acts on this metal body, the strain gauge is stretched or compressed. This causes a measurable change in its electrical resistance, which a signal conditioner converts into an electrical voltage.
Depending on the measurement task, different types of loading occur – compression, tension, bending, extension or shear. To ensure there is a suitable solution for every installation situation, we offer our force transducers in various designs, ranging from shear beams and tension rods to ring transducers.
