CHARACTERISTICS: Utilising the piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric materials and using quartz as the sensitive element, the transducer converts the measured force into an electrical signal, sensing quasi-static and dynamic forces. •Rugged structure •Long service life •Wide range of available frequencies •Wide dynamic range Ideal for dynamic force measurement. |
ADVANTAGES: Due to the high rigidity of quartz, the displacement under force is very small, typically within a few microns, and this virtually displacement-free measurement results in small errors for slow quasi-static processes. For measurements of fast processes, the high stiffness of quartz and the high intrinsic frequency associated with it are superior to other measurement methods. |
