These triaxial piezoelectric force transducer are piezoelectric

load cells for the exact measurement of all forces on

the three orthogonal components acting in an arbitrary direc-

tion. Independent of the point of force application, the piezo

force transducers with the installed triaxial force sensors of the

90x7 family measure all 3 components of the applied force in

highest resolution.

The 3 axis load cell out of the 93x7 product family is optimally

preloaded, calibrated and immediately ready to measure.

• Accurate measurement independent of the force

application point

• Wide frequency range

• Easy installation

• Stainless, sealed sensor case

• Rugged multipole plug connection

Description

The 3 axis load cell is mounted under preload between two

plates and measures both tensile and compression forces in

all directions.

Based on the piezoelectric principle, a force produces a propor-

tional electric charge. This is conducted via an electrode to the

appropriate connector.

The simple and vibration-resistant design of the force link is

very rigid resulting in a high natural frequency, which is a

requirement for highly dynamic force measurements.

The 3-pole connector V3 neg. (design protected) is provided

with a positioning aid. This guarantees accurate assignment

and centering of the connector pins and sockets before

connection. The plug connection is protected against rotation.

After correct installation, the sensor is ready for use without

recalibration.

Quartz triaxial force transducer allow simple, direct and very

precise measurements.
