General Description of the Instrument 3. General Description of the Instrument 3.1 What Does a Multicomponent Force Plate Do? The multicomponent force plate provides dynamic and quasi- static measurement of the 3 orthogonal components of a force (F ) acting from any direction onto the top plate. With the aid of optional evaluation devices the 3 moments M and M can be measured as well.
Multicomponent Force Link Set, Type 9366CD 3.2 Functional Principle The force to be measured is introduced via a top plate and distributed among four triaxial force sensors arranged in a force measuring element. Each of the sensors has three pairs of quartz plates, one sensitive to pressure in the z direction and the other two to shear in the x and y directions respectively.
General Description of the Instrument 3.3 Design of the Multicomponent Kit The multi-component force link kit consists of four force measuring elements and a summing box with integrated cables. Each force link contains a preloaded triaxial force sensor. The 3-core cables of the summing box are routed in protective hoses and the screw connections to the sensor are marked with the corresponding position of the force measuring platform.

Multicomponent Force Link Set, Type 9366CD Instead of using positioning pins, the force links can also be aligned using a straightedge. As shown in Figure 16, this is achieved by laying the straightedge against each pair of force links. straightedge reference surface Fig.

Assembly, Installation and Putting Into Operation Fix the force measuring elements to the top plate with two screws M6x20 each (tighten screws lightly). Attention screws good quality property class 12.9 (DIN 267). Mount force links 2, 3 and 4 as described under steps 4 to Turn over force plate and screw home all 32 fastening screws by hand to the stop.
Multicomponent Force Link Set, Type 9366CD 4.4 Installing the Force Plate To install the force plate correctly please observe the following points: The force plate must be installed only by persons familiar with the device and sufficiently qualified for this work.
Assembly, Installation and Putting Into Operation Important Before tightening the fastening screws consideration should be given that there are no extreme temperature differences between the force plate and mounting surface. Otherwise there is the danger of high internal stresses between force plate and mounting surface when the temperatures adjust.
Multicomponent Force Link Set, Type 9366CD [BM1] 4.6 Triaxial Force Measurement The form of construction of a force plate consisting of four triaxial force links with a common base and cover plate ensures the acting forces do not exert any moments on the individual force link.

Operation 5. Operation 5.1 Range selection Use of charge amplifiers with sensitivity adjustment (such as Type 5080A...) is recommended for the force plate. Adjust the sensitivities according to the data in the calibration sheets for the channels F and F .

Choose the range for F follows: 20 kN (amplifier to <Long Time Constant>). b Switch the amplifier to <Operate>. c Apply F (start machine tool). d After reading off and/or recording the force, switch the amplifier to <Reset>...
Operation Useful Frequency Range In the resonant range a force link or a dynamometer exhibits mildly damped vibration characteristics. It is possible to measure up to about one third of the natural frequency without excessive errors. The lower frequency limit is determined by the drift of the charge amplifier and the quality of the insulation.
Page 34
Multicomponent Force Link Set, Type 9366CD Rule of thumb The better the force link (dynamometer) is mounted on the bench support and the better the part used to introduce the force is mounted on the link the higher the resonant frequency and hence the useful frequency of the measuring system.
Operation 5.4 Temperature influences The temperature coefficient of the sensitivity (sensitivity change with temperature, the entire force plate being at the same temperature) is negligibly small. Temperature changes on the other hand give rise to an error signal in the form of a zero drift. This temperature drift is a function of the heat input.
Recalibration of the sensor is necessary, for example, after an uncontrolled overload. This recalibration must be carried out in the manufacturer's factory. Please contact your Kistler distributor in this case. Our products can be recalibrated or checked using the method used prior to initial dispatch. Our subsidiaries can also sometimes calibrate using the same or similar methods.

If you cannot deal with a fault, please consult your Kistler distributor. Fault Cause Remedy Signal line broken No measuring signal at charge Check measuring rig (connections).

Kistler special cables and Kistler charge amplifiers are used. Calibrated measuring range Measuring range or part of the measuring range for which the sensor has been calibrated. Because of the high linearity of quartz crystal sensors, the sensitivity of a measuring range can usually also be used for smaller measuring ranges.

Annex Disturbance Forces, moments and environmental influences acting on the sensor such as the temperature, which the sensor does not measure as a measurand and which produce an output signal (error). Example: when an additional bending moment acts on a force sensor. Drift Unwanted changes in the output signal independent of the measurand as a function of time.

Multicomponent Force Link Set, Type 9366CD This requirement is found mainly in repetitive measurements in production processes, where good repeatability is usually sufficient for process monitoring. Accuracy primarily plays only a subordinate role, when measurements can be directly related to confor-ming/nonconforming parts.

Multicomponent Force Link Set, Type 9366CD 9.4 Frequency Range Because of their mechanical quality, piezoelectric sensors have very low damping. The useful frequency range is limited in the upwards direction by the increasing resonance rise. Key: Measuring frequency Natural frequency...
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 thereby largely determined by the surrounding structure.
Page 48
Multicomponent Force Link Set, Type 9366CD 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.
