FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technologies Multi Axis Load Cell are designed to measure a multiple of forces and moments simultaneously with a single Load Cell.
Multi Axis Force gages can accurately measure up to six components (3 forces and 3 moments) of load. For example, Independent strain gage bridges are used to measure three directions of force: Longitude, Latitude, and Vertical, as well as, the moments about each force direction. Separate receptacles or cables are provided for each axis of measurement. A careful structural analysis has been done to isolate the forces and moments, which results in a reduction of cross-talk sensitivities.
All designs are one piece flexures, machined and gauged to give optimum output, stiffness and durability. For example, one of our more innovative designs, the Stick Shift/Gear Shift Knob Transducer offers a lightweight, robust feature comprised of Anodized Aluminum and weighing as little as 9 oz. Its special ergonomically designed cover contains anti-slip notches for proper handling coupled with less hand strain on the user. |

The technology for our 'TorqSense' RWT310/320 Series Torque transducers is based on the patented technology of measuring the resonant frequency change of 'Surface Acoustic Wave' (SAW) devices in a non-contact manner when strain is applied to a shaft to which the Industrial saws are fixed. The applied torque causes a deformation of the quartz substrate of the SAW device, which in turn causes a change in its resonant frequency. Essentially the SAWs act as 'frequency dependent' strain gauges.
The frequency signal measuring the resonant frequency is coupled via a non-contact RF rotating couple from the shaft to a fixed pick-up and it is the analysis of the difference in resonant frequencies between the two SAW devices, with electronic processing and calibration, that gives a precise indication of the torque transmitted by the shaft. SAW devices have a high immunity to magnetic fields allowing their use in motors, for example, where other analog technologies are susceptible to electronic interference and are not suitable.
The use of this patented measurement technique results in a transducer being able to sense torque bi-directional, with fast mechanical and electrical responses. As the method is non-contact it has also complete freedom from brushes or complex electronics, which are often found in traditional torque measurement systems.

With its compact, bearingless, maintenance-free design, the new TF Torque Flange Sensor from Magtrol brings many appealing advantages to torque measurement applications. The TF's high torsional rigidity supports direct mounting on the machine shaft or flange, avoiding the use of couplings on one side. This allows easy integration into a test system, shortens the overall length of the test desk and reduces costs.
Based on strain-gauge technology, the TF Sensor's precise telemetry system enables highly accurate signal transmission. A signal amplifier mounted in the measuring flange amplifies the measuring signal, modulates it to high frequency and transmits it inductively (via the HF transmitter) to the receiver. In the receiver, the digitized torque signal is transformed into an analog output signal of ±10 VDC. Rotational speed can be measured and converted to a TTL output signal with the optional speed pickup. |
