dynamometer

A dynamometer often means a force transducer in an -S or -Z shape, which is preferably used in the pulling direction. This special design for dynamometers was manufactured in 1968 by the US manufacturer Interface Inc. and is now produced in large quantities in many different measuring ranges and designs.

Due to the sometimes extremely high measurement accuracy but still low price, S-form series are suitable for many OEM applications and also for use in test benches, testing machines and in automation technology as well as in the experimental area. Upon request, we can also offer you dynamometer versions that have a larger and compensated working and/or temperature range and ATEX (Ex area) approval.

Some dynamometer series are also offered with special measuring spring geometries with high (>1000% FS) overload safety. The protection works in both the tensile and compressive directions. The slightly higher purchase costs often pay for themselves after a very short time, especially for small measuring ranges.

From 10kN onwards, the rotationally symmetrical, low-profile ones offer Flat profile force transducer  (LowProfile™) more and more advantages, especially for force measurements for fatigue strength tests. Based on the shear web or shear stress measurement principle, the robust flat profile series of dynamometers offer high rigidity (small measuring path) and high natural frequencies for dynamic use. The rotationally symmetrical, low-profile sensors of the dynamometers impress with their versatility, with a focus on test benches, e.g. B. in the automotive and aircraft industries. A special mechanical balancing process minimizes crosstalk from parasitic loads.

Over 50 years of experience is reflected in our variety of products. Our dynamometers are constantly optimized and offer you capacities from 1 lbf/500gf to 2 million lbf/9.000kN. Contact us so we can help you find a solution that meets your needs. T. +49.8022.271667
