Force Measurement in all its variety
Primosensor measuring systems are designed accurately, produced efficiently and tested in suitable facilities. With our sensors, you can reliably measure the forces and torques that apply in your plant and machinery
Our long-standing customer Serapid needed to build a very flat event platform which was able to recognize overload. For that, they needed a force sensor with a maximum height of 10 mm on the push chain. We found a way! We designed a torque measuring ring which is installed between gear and chassis and measures the reaction torque there.
Additional height on the push chain: 0 mm!
One of our customers needed suitable sensors for a non-invasive, high-precision, and professional blood pressure monitor. The device was to be placed on the wrist but the vein’s position there differs from person to person. We have developed a pectinate sensor structure which ensures that at least one tooth generates an analysable signal. The sensor was produced by thin film technolog
An electric wheelchair needs not only a drive but also a force sensor to control power.Our cubic sensor can easily be installed between hand and wheel rim. It measures very precisely the direction of movement but is also robust in any other direction, which enables them to endure for example high weights

Our customer needed a cheap sensor to measure yarn tension in weaving machines. We decided to cut all metal components out of metal sheets by laser and then layer and blend them. The deformation of a component under load can be determined by means of the Hall effect and is converted to 0…10 V.
Measuring the forces applied to the forestay or the sheets makes it easier to trim sails ideally, not only once, but constantly, to fully use the wind’s potential.
The wireless and battery-driven sensor is placed at the forestay and sends data to the onboard computer, which analyses and displays it. The helmsman can check the forces applied to the forestay on the display and find the perfect way to position the sails.
In some cases, the original component cannot be replaced by a sensor for measuring purposes. However, using press-fit sensors, the original components can be upgraded to sensors.
We use this approach for our axle load measuring system for goods wagons. The tracks are pierced at the required distance and equipped with press-fit sensors.
Strain transducers are screwed on the original components in order to measure strain applied to their surface and calculate the stress applied to the component. They are popular equipment for forming presses, punching and embossing machines, and welding devices.
Among others, eyebolts, chains, hooks, and shackles are used to attach and secure lights, loudspeakers and other items needed on stage. We mostly use shackles to measure the stress applied to ceiling, supporting and crossbeam structures.
