6-Axis Force/Torque Sensor

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed technical specifications and application guidelines for the Kistler 6-Axis Force/Torque Sensor, specifically types 9306A, 9306A31, and 9306A41. These sensors measure forces and torques across three orthogonal axes using piezoelectric signals, allowing for compact design and high precision in dynamic and quasi-static processes.
Specifications:
  • Measurement Range: The sensors have varying ranges for shear forces (Fx, Fy), axial forces (Fz), and reaction torques (Mx, My, Mz), with specific overload capacities and sensitivity levels.
  • Construction: Made with large-area quartz discs for rigidity and high natural frequency, essential for dynamic measurements.
  • Technical Data: Includes force and moment linearity, crosstalk percentages, natural frequency, operating temperature range, and insulation resistance.
Mounting and Application:
  • Installation requires adherence to specific guidelines to ensure accurate measurements, with emphasis on centering the force vector to avoid excessive moment loading.
  • Applications include testing in wind tunnels, product inspections, and dynamic force measurements in various engineering fields.
Dimensions: Detailed diagrams and measurements are provided for each sensor type, highlighting the compact design suitable for narrow installations.
Accessories and Signal Processing:
  • Includes centering rings, cylindrical pins, and optional connecting cables.
  • Signal processing requires multichannel charge amplifiers (Types 5167A80 and 5080A) to convert piezoelectric signals into proportional electrical voltage.
Conclusion: The Kistler 6-Axis Force/Torque Sensors offer robust, precise measurement capabilities for complex force and torque applications, supported by a range of accessories and detailed technical support.

6-Axis Force/Torque Sensor-1

<ISTLER measure, analyze, innovate. Type 9306A, 9306A31, 9306A41 9306_003-290e-04.23 The 6 Axis Force/Torque Sensor measures all forces and the corresponding moments on the three orthogonal axis. All forces and moments are captured as physical, piezoelectric signals and do not need to be calculated. The unique measurement setup of Kistlers multi-axis force/torque sensor allows an extremely small and compact design. Therefore concise models of 3-dimensional dynamic and quasistatic processes are possible even in narrow installations. • Very wide measuring range • Large frequency range • Easy installation with numerous centering options • Stainless, sealed sensor case • Robust multipole connector (one connector each for forces and torques) Description Pretensioned piezoelectric 6-Axis Force/Torque Sensor with two mounting flanges. Measures forces and reaction torques in both tensile and compression directions. A force or reaction torque generates a proportional electrical charge. This is transferred by an electrode to the corresponding connector. The multi-axis force/torque sensor consists of large-area quartz discs and is therefore very rigid. The resulting high natural frequency is a prerequisite for high dynamic force and torque measurements. The two 3-pole V3 neg. connectors are provided with an antitwist lock. One connector each for force and torque signals. After it has been correctly installed the 6-axis force/torque sensor is immediately ready for use without recalibration. Application • Forces and moments during inspection of springs and damping elements • Dynamic force and moment measurements during inspection of prostheses • Forces and torques during the product inspection • Dynamic forces and torques on objects in the wind tunnel • Forces and torques during assembly processes with robots Technical data (Tref = 25 °C) 1) All load combinations possible (Fx, Fy on cover-plate surface, Fz central) 2) Considerably higher forces and moments are permitted for individual loading (Fx, Fy and Mx, My as vector) 3 Resistance of the sensor to shear and bending deformation. (Theoretical) assumption: The sensor is fixed at the bottom, the shear force acts at the top, so that the lever length is equal to the toal sensor height This information corresponds to the current state of knowledge.

Force application If possible, the resulting force vector should pass through the center of the sensor. Eccentric force application creates a moment loading on the sensor. This is only permitted up to the specified values. The maximum force and torque ranges must be reduced correspondingly. In particular the bending moments Mx, My must be observed. The resulting bending moments are calculated as follows: Application Type 9306A multi-axis force/torque sensor is built-in with the top side flushmounted in the wind tunnel. The high stiffness and resolution allow measurement of small and high dynamic...
