Force Measurement in all its variety
When it comes to force measuring devices, we are the experts who can support you with a wealth of ideas and a high level of expertise. We have the right product for your application or we can adapt it to your individual circumstances. But we also pursue completely new approaches for entirely new solutions together with you.
Talk to us if your project involves load measurement or the measurement of forces.
Our workflows do not depend on certain technologies. In other words, our end products are based on strain gages. Depending on the quantity and desired accuracy, we offer the solution with the optimum price-performance ratio. Either force transducers that are realized with bonded strain gages or those that are constructed with thick-film technology or thin-film sensors.
Primosensor designs its measuring systems accurately, implements them constructively and tests them in suitable load devices. This means you are ideally equipped to measure forces – and torques – in your machines and systems professionally and reliably.
In order to realize a particularly flat event podium with overload detection, our long-standing customer Serapid required a force sensor with a maximum height of 10 mm on the push chain. And we even found a solution for that! We designed a torque measuring ring that measures the reaction torque when mounted between the gearbox and the chassis.
Additional height on the push chain: 0 mm!
Sensors are required for a non-invasive, highly accurate, professional blood pressure monitor. The device, placed on the wrist, should measure the blood pressure in the veins. As their position varies slightly from person to person, we developed a comb-shaped sensor structure that ensures that a “prong” generates an evaluable signal in every case. The sensor was realized using thin-film technology.
Anyone who converts a wheelchair into an electric wheelchair needs a force sensor for control in addition to the electric drive. Our solution consists of cubes that can be fitted between the handrim and wheel rim using simple mounting parts. They are very sensitive in the direction of movement and rather robust in all other directions, for example to withstand the support forces of heavy people without damage.
A low-cost sensor was needed to measure the yarn tension on weaving machines. In our innovative sensor concept, all metallic sensor components are laser-cut from sheet metal and then layered and connected to form the sensor structure. The deformation of a component under load is evaluated using the Hall effect and then converted into 0…10 V.
Measure the forces in the forestay or on the loaded sheets and use them to trim the sails optimally. Not just once, but constantly, in order to keep the ship optimally upwind.
The wireless, battery-powered sensor is located in the forestay and sends its data to the on-board computer, which evaluates and displays it. The helmsman reads the power on the forestay in the display and, with a little feeling, brings the boat perfectly upwind.
There are applications in which an existing component cannot simply be replaced by a measuring component – a sensor – to carry out a necessary measurement. However, existing components can be “converted” into sensors with the aid of press-fit sensors.
We implemented this in a system for axle load detection on freight wagons: the existing rails are drilled through at a certain distance and fitted with press-fit sensors.
Strain transducers are screwed onto existing machine components in order to record the strains on the surface and thus the load on the component. Among other things, they have proven their worth in equipping forming presses, punching and stamping machines and welding equipment.
Lifting accessories such as eyebolts, chains, hooks, shackles and much more are used to secure and fasten lights, loudspeakers, screens and other objects in production and event operations. The use of measuring shackles is often the method of choice for measuring the load on ceiling, beam or truss structures.
