Design and Measurement of Hollow Cylinder Type Force Transducer with Ultra Low Height

Abstract

Heavy duty machinery and constructive engineering need low height force transducer to measure great force. Because assembling space is not enough, it is necessary to design a special force transducer. Thus, hollow cylinder type force transducer with ultra low height is designed and experimented especially. The ratio of the height of hollow cylinder-type force transducer to the diameter of hollow cylinder-type force transducer is limited to less than 7/4. To break the limitation, two cases of the transducer are designed and studied, experimented data are processed by MATLAB.
