    Triaxial load cell Type 93x7C Functional principle The force sensor contains three pairs of quartz plates, of which one is sensitive to pressure in the z direction and the two others to shear forces in the x and y directions. The type of sensitivity depends on the position of the cut from the quartz blank.

    Triaxial load cell Type 93x7C Triaxial force measurement using a Dynamometer The configuration of a dynamometer consisting of four triaxial ring force transducer with common base plate and cover plate ensures the acting forces do not apply any moments to the individual force sensor, which can therefore be loaded to its maximum measuring range defined for when it is free from moments.

    Triaxial load cell Type 93x7C 6. Operation Range selection It is advisable to use charge amplifiers with sensitivity ad- justment (e.g. Type 5167A or 5080A) with the triaxial load cell. Measuring small force changes The piezoelectric method of measurement allows very accurate measurement of small force changes when there is large preload present at the same time.

  • Page 26: Useful Frequency Range

    Triaxial load cell Type 93x7C Useful frequency range At the upper frequency limit, the frequency response of the dynamometer reveals relatively little vibration damping. Frequencies can be triggered up to about a third of the natural frequency without excessive measuring errors. The lower frequency limit is determined by the drift of the charge amplifier and the quality of the insulation.
  • Page 27 Operation Rule The better the mounting of the measuring device (load cell, dynamometer) on a base structure and the firmer the attachment of the force introduction parts – the higher is the resonant frequency and the wider is the usable frequency range.

  • Page 28: Piezoelectric Force Measurement

    Triaxial load cell Type 93x7C Piezoelectric force measurement Accuracy The question of accuracy of a piezoelectric measuring chain cannot be answered easily by giving a number. In addition to the specified errors of sensor and charge amplifier, tem- perature and other environmental conditions influence the measuring result.
  • Page 29 Operation Temperature error Due to a change in temperature, the force sensor experiences internal temperature stresses resulting in a measuring error. We define this error as: Temperature error [N/°C] The magnitude of the error depends on the sensor and on the preload elements and can be determined for a piezoelectric load cell by tests.
  • Page 30 Triaxial load cell Type 93x7C Cable Cables and connectors must be kept clean and dry. Other- wise the electrical drift increases. Drift of the measuring chain can be measured in operating mode without loading the sensors. If the electrical drift val- ues are higher than specified the insulation of the measur- ing chain is not sufficient.

  • Page 31: Hints For Better Measuring Results

  • Page 43: Influence Of Temperature

    Annex In their dynamic behavior, piezoelectric sensors are superior to all other measuring methods. Their high rigidity results in the highest possible natural frequencies. Piezoelectric sensors are thus ideal for measuring measurands which change rapidly over time. Their dynamic behavior is there- by largely determined by the surrounding structure.
  • Page 44 Triaxial load cell Type 93x7C Temperature gradient error (dynamic error) A temporary change in the output signal is denoted as temperature gradient error, when the temperature of the environment or surrounding medium changes with a certain rate. In this case, the sensor is not in thermal equilibrium with the environment.
