Abstract

This study addresses the growing need for precise static low-force measurement in industries and metrology, driven by technological advancements and a trend toward miniaturization. Existing commercially available static force transducers can do force measurements with precision but these transducers face significant challenges in their development for low force measurement due to the irregular shapes of the spring element. Additionally, in the literature, some low-force sensors are also described for static low-force measurement but they possess poor metrology characteristics such as linearity, repeatability, and reproducibility which impacts their overall performance. The use of such low-force sensors in static low force measurements related applications such as microhardness testing, tactile sensing, and automation assembly systems may lead to low product trustworthiness. To address these challenges, this study presents the design of a simple-shaped cross-beam low-force transducer specifically for static force measurement in the 5 N range. The study begins with the design of cross beam spring element whose deflection under 5 N is analyzed by analytical and computational means. For the computational analysis, Ansys software of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used. For the analytical analysis, an analytical expression is derived to study the deflection. Experimental results demonstrate that the developed cross-beam strain gauge force transducer exhibits good metrological performance in the low-force range.

用于低力测量的横梁力传感器的设计、开发和特性
在技术进步和小型化趋势的推动下,本研究解决了工业和计量领域对精确静态低力测量日益增长的需求。现有的商用静力传感器可以进行精确的力测量,但由于弹簧元件的不规则形状,这些传感器在开发低力测量方面面临重大挑战。此外,在文献中,也描述了一些用于静态低力测量的低力传感器,但它们具有较差的计量特性,如线性,可重复性和再现性,从而影响其整体性能。在静态低力测量相关应用中使用这种低力传感器,如显微硬度测试、触觉传感和自动化装配系统,可能导致产品可靠性降低。为了解决这些挑战,本研究提出了一种简单形状的横梁低力传感器的设计,专门用于5n范围内的静力测量。本文从横梁弹簧元件的设计入手,采用解析和计算的方法对其在5n下的挠度进行了分析。计算分析采用Ansys有限元分析软件。对于解析分析,导出了一个解析表达式来研究挠度。实验结果表明,所研制的横梁应变式力传感器在低力范围内具有良好的计量性能。
