The K3A 3-axis sensor is designed for measuring force in three mutually perpendicular axes.
This product group has a wide measurement ranges for the forces.
The K3A S3-Axis Force Sensors are developed for the following applications:
- Robotics,
- Medical technology,
- Measurements in automation technology,
- Mounting and Assembling of Parts in Production Lines,
- 6-Axis Force/Torque Platforms consisting of 4x K3A Sensors,
- Research and Testing.
A key characteristic of 3D force sensors is crosstalk: The application of a force also results in a reading in the two unloaded axes. Due to multiple compensation (mechanical + electrical), crosstalk is typically less than 3% of the nominal load. The crosstalk is reproducible and proportional to the applied force amplitude. By applying an additional compensation matrix, crosstalk can be reduced to typically less than 1% in all axes.
ME-Meßsysteme therefore supplies two calibration certificates: without a compensation matrix (type "cv") and with a compensation matrix (type "s").
The K3A sensors can be operated without additional compensation matrix. During the application, please take care to ensure that the maximum bending moments are not exceeded.
The lever arms are calculated from the sensor origin, which is in the center of the mounting surface (on the top surface).
