Concerning the traditional way of micro-thrust measurement cannot get the transient thrust value with high precision and the measuring process of piezoelectric sensors is sensitive to the electromagnetic interference, this paper builds one new measurement method basing on the acoustic elasticity theory. The acoustoelastic element is the core of the whole system as it can transform the thrust changes into the variation of acoustic time. Thus adopting a timer to record such variation so that the thrust changes in real-time could be obtained, which is helpful for studying the mechanism of micro thrusters. This method built in this paper is not only non-contact and non-destructive but also easy to operate with simple structure and high precision.
