Measuring system

1)

See data sheet entitled Cables for Multicomponent Force Sensors, Dynamometers and Force Plates (1687B_000-545).

Parallel Connection

When assembling the force plate the four force links are me-

chanically connected in parallel. The measurement signals

(electric charge) of the four sensors are also connected in par-

allel in the summing box. The summed signal corresponds to

the algebraic sum of the individual forces.

Calibration

The multicomponent force link set is calibrated in the fac-

tory with a 300x300x35 mm steel top plate. Depending on

the chosen size of top plate, the sensitivity of the three force

components Fx, Fy and Fz can deviate up to ±2 % from the

calibrated value.

Measurement Signal Conditioning

A multichannel charge amplifier is required to complete the

measuring system. It converts the measurement signals into an

electrical voltage. The measurement is exactly proportional to

the acting force. Multichannel charge amplifier Type 5080A...

has been manufactured specifically for multicomponent force

measuring systems.
