Study on force transducers dynamic calibration according to sinusoidal method

Abstract

This research aims to introduce the current progress of dynamic calibration of force transducers by sinusoidal method. The acceleration measurement by absolute method is the developing direction of sinusoidal force measurement. Besides, the influence of acceleration distribution of mass block should be taken into consideration. The size, density, and Young's modulus of the mass block affect the acceleration distribution. The study demonstrates that the uniform acceleration distribution in materials like steel and cemented carbide leads to more accurate calibration outcomes, the diameter and height of the mass block have a significant influence on the distribution of acceleration. The vibration frequency of sinusoidal force directly affects the dynamic calibration result of the sensitivity of the force sensor, and the natural frequency of standard devices of sinusoidal force calibration is affected by the mass block dramatically. Therefore, it is suggested that an international standard for dynamic calibration of force transducers based on sinusoidal methods should be formulated to resolve the differences between the relevant technical standards and the requirements of calibration items and methods for force transducers among various countries. Therefore, the unified calculation method and quantity values of dynamic calibration of force transducers according to the sinusoidal method can be achieved.
