Accelerometers |Force Sensors| Pressure Sensors| Microphones Force, Load, and Strain – sensors for testing, monitoring, and process control: PCB® offers a vast selection of quartz piezoelectric and strain gage sensors for dynamic force, dynamic strain, and static load measurement requirements. The variety of available configurations supports a multitude of installation options. Whether it’s a mechanical component durability test, assembly force control requirement, or an end-of-line quality check, we can help with sensors that are off-the-shelf or custom designed for the specific application. Features and benefits of piezoelectric and strain gage force sensors. Piezoelectric force sensors are well suited for measuring dynamic and quasi-static force. They feature high stiffness, fast response, and repeatable performance, permitting them to capture high frequencies and follow fast transient events such as impacts. The high stiffness allows them to survive repetitive cycles without fatigue. Quasi-static applications may include slow acting press or mechanical linkage forces acting in a cyclic manner during a production process. Strain gage force sensors, or load cells, are well suited for measuring slowly changing or static force. They possess DC response and are appropriate for static applications. Fatigue rated versions are constructed of high-grade steel for surviving many repetitive cycles encountered during product durability testing. Strain gage load cells are not suitable for capturing frequencies in excess of several hundred Hz. They are also typically larger than similarly ranged piezoelectric force sensors. Dynamic Force Sensors
Dynamic ICP® Strain Sensors M240 ICP® Strain Sensors are ideal for industrial applications that require the measurement of repetitive strain curves such as monitoring forces experienced during manufacturing, assembly, on-line processes, quality assurance, or end-of-line product testing.
