Simultaneous measurement of forces and torques - with decoupling of the different force and torque components and temp. compensation using outer frame spring coupled to rigid axes

摘要

Simultaneous measurement of forces and torques involves detecting the forces and torques acting on an outer frame. The measurements are performed contactlessly from three rigid axes wrt. which the outer frame can move. The measurements of force and the measurements of torque in the axial directions are decoupled from each other, whereby the outer frame is connected to the rigid axes via springs. USE/ADVANTAGE - Measuring forces and torques simultaneously enables the different components of a measurement force and torque to be decoupled and temp. influences to be fully compensated using simple arrangement.
