Customised miniature annular load cell: a solution for the customer

Customised miniature annular load cell: a solution for the customer

Develop a force transducer whose dimensions are compatible with the customer's restricted mechanical environment.

  

One of our customers wanted to measure the tightening force of M6 screws.

SENSY had in its standard range the 5180 model, the smallest version of which was designed for this type of screw.

                                         

                                                             

 

 

 

Problem: The outer diameter (34 mm) was too large and didn’t allow this force sensor to be inserted where the measurement was to be made.

                                          

 

 Solution : Develop a force sensor whose dimensions are compatible with the restricted mechanical environment of the client:
